Recently I had to refresh my profile and the App launcher I had was one of two extensions that would not show up and were no longer in the store, so I went back to the profile where they did show up, since the refreshing didn't help my initial Chrome issue anyway. After that, I searched for another App launcher, find this and it works great.
