Have you tried uninstalling Chrome?  Did Chrome try to make itself the default browser (with or without your consent)?  Then that could be analogous to the situation in W8 where IE must be the default browser in order to have access to the Immersive browser (aka MUF IE).  You can have more than one browser without declaring a new one to be the default browser.  Alternatively, you could try seeing what happens by making IE the default browser.  E.g. in an Administrator Command Prompt enter  computerdefaults.exe  Then click Custom and choose Internet Explorer and OK to initialize it.

Good luck
