I have a bit of a question that might seem silly, but here it goes. If two people are using the same computer with different Windows accounts, and one of them is signed into Chrome with their Google account, will the other user see that Chrome is still logged in to the first user's Google account when they switch to their own Windows account? Or does it log off when switching Windows accounts? Thanks for any insights!

Each user on Windows has their own profile, so when the second user logs in, they won't see the first user's Chrome signed in. Basically, each account has its own version of Chrome with separate data, so no need to worry about anyone else accessing your Google account!
Nope, they won't see it. Chrome keeps all its info stored in the specific user's local profile on Windows. If Chrome was installed with admin rights, it would be available to all users, but they still won't share the same profile data unless they’re logged into that specific account. If the first user is still logged in, they'll remain signed in to Google only while that session is active. Otherwise, logging out would log them off of Google too.
That makes sense! I figured it might log off once you switch users.
Thanks for clarifying!
