How to reopen all windows in Chrome?
I have two separate chrome windows, each window has multiple tabs in it.
I want to reopen both windows with associated tabs when I open Chrome.
What I have noticed is that if I close the first Window and then the second Window, chrome will restore the second window. So it will restore my session from the last closed window.
How should I close Chrome such that both windows close simultaneously so they are both restored?

When exiting Chrome, always use the Exit action from the menu.
This will close all windows and, given that you have Continue where I left off enabled in the options, all windows will be reopened when you start Chrome the next time.

It doesn't matter how many windows and tabs you have opened of chrome, and when you close the recent most window is opened. To open all windows separately and all the tabs in order you can always use this ->whenever you close chrome and then reopen it go to wrenchbar icon and select Recent Tabs this will show you the windows and the no. of tabs opened in each window. So you can reopen them again.
Though when you exit from chrome and then open it, it opens all the tabs from all windows in the same window.

+1 for the "Recent Tabs" menu, though your first statement was wrong. If you exit Chrome as Oliver says, it does restore all open windows and tabs next time you open it.

At the moment this functionality is found under "history" in the 3-dots menu (which was previously the wrench icon). There you see a link to the history page (ctrl-H) and your "Recently "closed tabs" (with a separate heading for tabs from other devices). In this list any window you closed also has an entry, titled "X tabs". Click that to restore the entire window. (chrome v55.0)

If you open up task manager and kill both the processes at the same time, when you go to open chrome again it will bring up all the tabs within both windows.

I know this is old but I ran into an issue where I had multiple windows (5 open) in addition to my original session that I wanted to keep (it had a multitude of tabs within the window) and I didn't want to lose it. But silly me, accidentally closed them all in the wrong order losing my very first session. But I was able to recover my very first session by continually right clicking on a new tab to reopen sequences of previous session tabs and windows until it eventually went all the way to my very first session.
*Btw, I'm using whatever latest version of Google Chrome as of June 8th, 2016.

I usectrl-shift-Tinstead of right-clicking, and this worked wonders. I had exited chrome by logging off windows, and when it restarted, it only brought up 2 of my 3 windows. It was too late for the accepted solution here, and drilling through days of history sounded tedious, so I'm really glad this worked.

When you just re-opened the (recent version of) Chrome, there are marks of sort of "bunch of tabs" (with number of them bold font) visible in the history. Those refer to windows. The most recent actually refers to already open window, if selected the settings option "restore previous session" (nice joke from Chrome). But if you forgot to restore all the windows immediately after reopening Chrome and opened 1-3 new tabs, those "windows" get erased from the history (WHY THE HECK, GOOGLE?) and there is no way to recover. At least I still couldn't find any.
Funny thing is that if you decided to protect yourself and installed some special plugin to handle that, e.g. "tabs-outliner", it can restore the windows only when Chrome crashed. If the Chrome was closed gracefully, no history of those windows saved unless you deliberately renamed those beforehand to be firmly kept. But you cannot keep in mind all those tricks all the time and eventually get into those stupd UX bugs pitfalls!. Thank you, Google!

I know this is old but I ran into an issue where I had multiple windows (5 open) in addition to my original session that I wanted to keep (it had a multitude of tabs within the window) and I didn't want to lose it. But silly me, accidentally closed them all in the wrong order losing my very first session. But I was able to recover my very first session by continually right clicking on a new tab to reopen sequences of previous session tabs and windows until it eventually went all the way to my very first session.

I usectrl-shift-Tinstead of right-clicking, and this worked wonders. I had exited chrome by logging off windows, and when it restarted, it only brought up 2 of my 3 windows. It was too late for the accepted solution here, and drilling through days of history sounded tedious, so I'm really glad this worked.

I use
ctrl-shift-T instead of right-clicking, and this worked wonders. I had exited chrome by logging off windows, and when it restarted, it only brought up 2 of my 3 windows. It was too late for the accepted solution here, and drilling through days of history sounded tedious, so I'm really glad this worked.– craq

When you just re-opened the (recent version of) Chrome, there are marks of sort of "bunch of tabs" (with number of them bold font) visible in the history. Those refer to windows. The most recent actually refers to already open window, if selected the settings option "restore previous session" (nice joke from Chrome). But if you forgot to restore all the windows immediately after reopening Chrome and opened 1-3 new tabs, those "windows" get erased from the history (WHY THE HECK, GOOGLE?) and there is no way to recover. At least I still couldn't find any.
Funny thing is that if you decided to protect yourself and installed some special plugin to handle that, e.g. "tabs-outliner", it can restore the windows only when Chrome crashed. If the Chrome was closed gracefully, no history of those windows saved unless you deliberately renamed those beforehand to be firmly kept. But you cannot keep in mind all those tricks all the time and eventually get into those stupd UX bugs pitfalls!. Thank you, Google!
