This is my simple code, yet it throws me an exception for some reason

 private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("chrome", "https://www.google.com/"); }

The Exception:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: 'The system cannot find the file specified.'

I don't understand why this is happening

In .Net Framework (since UseShellExecute = true by default). In .Net Core / .Net 5+, it defaults to UseShellExecute = false. So you have to set it to true beforehand.
