Getting this error when trying to launch headed selenium session.
command I used was driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe')
Please downgrade to Chromedriver 80 (which is stable version). Chromedriver 81 is still beta version and it supports chrome 81, I am sure you might have Chrome browser version 80.
You can download chrome 80 stable version from here
Edit 1: Recommended
Alternatively you can use webdriver-manager which will take care of installing the latest driver on the fly. So you don't have to worry, each time when your browser get's updated/ newer version of driver is available.
Here is how you can install the webdriver-manager using pip.
pip install webdriver-manager Once the webdriver_manage is installed successfully you can start using it in the script as shown below.
from selenium import webdriver from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install()) driver.get("https://www.google.com") driver.quit The great part with this library is you can install any driver on the fly.
npm install -g webdriver-manager
