By definition Windows Authentication does not require a login.  Session has nothing to do with Windows Authentication and IMHO Session should act like a cache and not interfere with authentication/authorization.

Lastly, Chrome probably does not have a ClearAuthenticationCache function.  You'll need to consult Chrome support to see if there is an equivalent function or configuration.  A quick Google search yields several approaches.
