Hi @sattaman,

Is Chrome installed on you machine?

Here is the search logic:

export function win32() {
  const installations: Array<string> = [];
  const suffixes = [
    '\\Google\\Chrome SxS\\Application\\chrome.exe', '\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe'
  ];
  const prefixes =
      [process.env.LOCALAPPDATA, process.env.PROGRAMFILES, process.env['PROGRAMFILES(X86)']];

  const customChromePath = resolveChromePath();
  if (customChromePath) {
    installations.push(customChromePath);
  }

  prefixes.forEach(prefix => suffixes.forEach(suffix => {
    const chromePath = path.join(prefix, suffix);
    if (canAccess(chromePath)) {
      installations.push(chromePath);
    }
  }));
  return installations;
}

from https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/chrome-launcher/chrome-finder.ts

@dotneet This was working previously, is working again on a restart. It has happened on a couple of machines though so maybe something else going on? I'll close now anyhow

@sattaman I'm late but maybe someone else lands here: This happens if a test breaks (exception, timeout or similar). The started chrome processes are not always killed. I have this problem regularly.

Infact i'm running pkill -f "(chrome)*?(--headless)" to get rid of stale chrome instances in a cleanup script after chromy should be done.
