Please help me to resolve this issue This is happening in chrome v.57 and chromeDriver 2.29 ,please let me know if any suggestion

Answer 1

There are 2 solutions to this:

Option A

Create a new browser profile. Restart your machine.

Option B

If option A does not solve the issue, then this problem is caused by a key in the registry with the name, TriggeredReset. Delete this key, but first to be safe create a system restore point.

1. Click on Start, then on Run. (Win + R)
2. Type in regedit and hit return key or click OK.
3. From the menu, select Edit > Find.
4. Select only Keys checkbox and enter TriggeredReset.
5. It should be located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome.
6. Delete the key and close regedit.

Try it and let me know if it worked.
