I have Dell Windows tablet (I think the model is the Venue 11 Pro) and when the tablet is turned on I want it to automatically open a specific web page (lets say cnn.com for example) using Google Chrome, and also display full screen.
Obviously it may show the desktop for a few seconds first while the tablet loads up before opening Chrome, but that's fine.
I have right-clicked the Chrome icon from my desktop and clicked Properties and in target it currently says
C:\Users\Tablet4\AppData\Local\Google|Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –kiosk https://cnn.com
this DOES open chrome automatically, however DOES NOT make it full screen.
To get full screen, I have to close the browser, then click on the Chrome icon again from the desktop, and then it goes full screen.. however I want it to open automatically AND go full screen the first time round.
I have also tried just the word –kiosk and also –start-fullscreen but it still won't do both things I want it to do.
Any suggestions are much appreciated

After realising that --kiosk mode just would not work at all for me on my tablet, I managed to find a workaround solution by combining these 3 steps.
STEP 1 (how to open Chrome in full screen)
STEP 2 (how to set the page you want Chrome to automatically open)
STEP 3 (how to automatically open Chrome on start up)
Hope this helps someone who suffered the same frustration and hours of wasted time as me! :)
