yes, that is correct:
someapp.open() just focuses on an already running instance.

But why do you want to have 2 chrome instances running?

Wu,

I can suggest 2 approaches:

### approach1:

type('r', KeyModifier.WIN)
sleep(1)
type('chrome')
type(Key.ENETR)

### approach2:

import os
os.system('start chrome')
