Hello everybody. When I try to extract data from a website, UiPath Studio throw an arror. It says that No open windows found for 'chrome.exe'. Please try if the application is running. I try to run two data scraping examples of UiPath. It still says that Can't read and or change site's data when I click right on UiPath Web Automation. *I changed the chrome name to chrome.exe *I removed UiPath Web Automation and reinstall it from UiPath Studio. I restarted computer. I opened Chrome and gave all the permissions to UiPaht Web Automation. *I clicked right on chrome exe and opened properties. I clicked on compatibility and activated Google Chrome Compatibility Mode for Windows 8. After each of these solution methods I tried to execute data scraping. But the result is same. I use Community Licance and have the last version of UiPath Studio at this moment. Should I remove Google Chrome and install Google Chrome Canary? What should I do. Please help me everybody.

Completely unusable, if one does not has the medieval desktop app, which is only available for windows and mac. One would expect a self-proclaimed "leader" in an arising software discipline to use modern web apps or chrome extensions, to steer their software. That some inert companies have a hard time in transitioning from conventional desktop applications to modern browser software is a common disease across larger, slowly moving companies. But that they have a web app portal as well as chrome extension, but neither of them works, without a desktop app (that is not available for linux btw, thanks for the appreciation for open source efforts), can almost be called art

Works most of the time, unfortunately every now and then it stops working for absolute no reason. This has been going on for years now.
