I solved the issue.

Please don't use chrome.exe in shims folder, instead, use C:\\Users\\{YourUserName}\\scoop\\apps\\googlechrome\\current\\chrome.exe in the configuration file

For example

"markdown-preview-enhanced.chromePath":  "C:\\Users\\{YourUserName}\\scoop\\apps\\googlechrome\\current\\chrome.exe"
