Unable to open chrome browser using Selenium Webdriver. Loading unpacked extensions are disabled by administrator

Question

I am automating my application using Selenium Webdriver, C#, Visual Studio and Chrome browser.

I am getting below popup when selenium tried to open the chrome browse

Answer 1

I tried using AddExtension and AddArgument methods of ChromeOptions class, but none of them worked and got the same error.

I did something like this (JAVA):

ChromeOptions o = new ChromeOptions();
o.addArguments("disable-extensions");
o.addArguments("--start-maximized");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(o);

The second line is all what you need. The third line is just making chrome window maximized.

The pop-up isn't showing up currently. HTH.
