I am facing a Chrome popup while trying to run Robot Frame work script:
Microsoft Security Essentials wants to restore your Chrome settings to their
original defaults.
This will reset your homepage, new tab page and
search engine, disable your extensions, and unpin all tabs. It will
also clear other temporary and cached data, such as cookies, content
and site data.
In chrome extension, my developer mode is unchecked, whereas it should be checked.
The Robot Framework automation script is just to open the google Chrome browser and load google search page.
I am using Win 7 Home Basic OS.
I have attached screenshots.
It appears that most Chrome support specialists will ask you to run an anti-malware tool to verify that your system is running normally. These can be found by searching on the popup message.
One Reddit user commented that in his case the problem was resolved by altering the Windows registry:
I finally found a fix for this. There is a setting in the registry
that's causing it.
In the registry it's under
HKEY_CKU\CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\TriggeredReset
Delete the TriggeredReset key and then close regedit. Fixed.
This is an API for 3rd party programmers who want to create cleaning
tools. But if the tool isn't written properly, the triggered reset
never gets deleted and we have it always asking.
I am currently experiencing an error everytime I use my Microsoft Edge. Whenever I try to go to a site, I always end up with this error. The weird thing is, this issue only happens on certain websites (such as Facebook and Yahoo currently) and sometimes with Google. It likes to disconnect me often and I really don't want to have to deal with this issue anymore.
My internet works fine as my laptop (which I'm currently on) and phone can connect to it without issue. I don't know why it doesn't work on my desktop especially since its internet is Ethernet.
I tested this on other browsers to see if it was only on Edge but it turns out that chrome and firefox experience the same issue with different sites as well. For all three, I haven't been able to go on Facebook and Yahoo, and sometimes Google.
I know the problem is from my end because clearly, the sites are up. Is there any way to solve this or has anyone else found a solution to this?
I'm running Windows 10.
I've tried the following:
ipconfig / flush
ipconfig / reset
ipconfig / release
ipconfig / renew
clearing caches and browsing history
a full scan for malware using malwarebytes and windows defender, already removed/quarantined all threats, did this multiple times to ensure there were none left
reinstallation of chrome and firefox and a reset of edge
ipv4 - changing preferred and alternate dns address to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 respectively
checked to see if a proxy was up, no proxy
If I were to do a factory reset, would this solve the issue?
To narrow it down a bit, can you confirm that you only get this when navigating to the sites listed and they're using SSL / HTTPS? Some will auto re-direct to HTTPS if you go to their non-SSL equivalent, but it's worth trying this on sites like Google which do support both.
If this does help narrow down the behaviour, then I've seen this behaviour once before, but this was behind a corporate proxy which didn't support SSL SPDY.
You can try disabling SPDY support, but there is likely to be an underlying issue (perhaps anti-virus acting as a proxy?).
To test disabling SPDY:
Internet Explorer 11
In the browser, select Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > HTTP
Settings and clear the Use SPDY/3 option.
Firefox
In the browser, enter about:config in the address bar and press
Enter. Confirm the security warning. Type
network.http.spdy.enabled in the Search field. For all the entries, set the Value to false.
Chrome
Use a switch to disable SPDY for Chrome. Edit the shortcut for Chrome
and add the following switch at the end of the Target path:
--use-spdy=off
For example, if Chrome's default shortcut link is pointing to
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", change it to
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" –use-spdy=off.

I had a caller who was getting the "can't load page" error in Chrome only when logging into the AMEX site. Every other browser worked. The fix was to disable some weird experimental Chrome setting that is on by default. Go to chrome://flags, search for "experimental quic protocol" and "Disable" it.

The question is regarding Bracket.io with Chrome as the default browser.
When using the option "Live Preview" Chrome browser opens with the live document, but does not show me the extensions and bookmarks that I have installed on my browser.
This is when Chrome opens Brackets Live Preview:
This is when I open it myself (with extensions and bookmarks but without automatic updates), which is how I would like to have it:
How I set it to open Chrome with my bookmarks and extensions?
Brackets Live Preview uses a separate Chrome profile from your regular copy of Chrome. It starts out as a completely clean new profile, so it won't have any of your regular bookmarks, etc. But Live Preview reuses that same profile on each subsequent launch -- so if you add bookmarks to the window Live Preview is running in, they'll reappear the next time you use Live Preview.
There are a couple good reasons for this, and also one way to work around it that's become available recently.
Quoting from my answer to "Why does Brackets open a new instance of chrome when using Live Editor?":
The Chrome profile that Brackets launches for Live Preview has the
Chrome Remote Debugging
API
enabled. There are two reasons Brackets uses a separate profile for
this:
Remote Debugging is off by default, and enabling it requires re-launching Chrome. Using a separate profile means your existing
browsing session doesn't have to be restarted, which would be
disruptive if you have lots of tabs open.
It reduces security slightly -- other processes on your local machine could use the Remote Debugging API to monitor / interfere
with other browsing you do in this Chrome window. (The API is not
exposed to the network, so if you trust your computer to be
malware-free, this is less of a concern).
If you don't like having to open a separate Chrome window, you can
check File > Enable Experimental Live Preview to try out a new Live
Preview implementation that doesn't require the Remote Debugging API,
and thus doesn't launch a new copy of Chrome. You can't use this
option if your project has a custom server URL set, though.
This is by design, as it sets various flags needed for remote debugging.

I am trying to use MSAA (on Win7) to get the addressbar in chrome browser and replace it with a different url. When chrome is launched normally (as the loggedon user), I am able to find the addressbar using the IAccessible interface by traversing through the UI tree of the window classes owned by the process.
However, if I launch chrome as a different user (by using RunAs in windows), I see window with name, "chrome legacy window" when going through the classes owned by the "RunAs" process. The window hierarchy and the content within is vastly different from what I see if I scan the process that is running as the logged on user.
Although I can see (window classnames) Chrome_WidgetWin_0 & Chrome_WidgetWin_1 in both the browser instances, only the one running as the current user is giving access to the address bar.
Any idea on what is happening when chrome is launched as a different user? Is there any workaround or should I be looking at a different technology?
As Penn has noted this may have something to do with the PDF view which has caused peculiar problems in the strangest of places.
Looking at the bug tracker here it looks like sporadic behaviour with PDFs and the "legacy window" has been introduced in a recent build so perhaps try rolling back to an earlier version of Chrome.
Also I presume you are using chrome://accessibility with
Global accessibility mode: on
Show internal accessibility tree instead of native: on
or starting chrome with the flag --force-renderer-accessibility it seems to be a prerequisite for other automation programs like autoit as seen here.
If you can't get this method working I'd recommend trying the autoit script there.
Here is an autoit code example that shows grabbing the address bar and using it for general navigation, upon other things!
I have found that if a PDF file is open in the chrome viewer (in some versions of chrome) the window you referred to appears. Please confirm what URL is being used when you open chrome.
I have also read that a password request prompt can cause the same window to open. The PDF window only appears if the window is launched by certain processes/users
I'm working on a site that uses basic authentication. Using Chrome I've logged in using the basic auth. I now want to remove the basic authentication details from the browser and try a different login.
How do you clear the current basic authentication details when using Chrome?
It seems chrome will always show you the login prompt if you include a username in the url e.g.
http://me#example.com
This is not a real full solution, see Mike's comment below.
You can open an incognito window Ctrl+Shift+n each time you are doing a test. The incognito window will not remember the username and password the last time you entered.
To use this trick, make sure to close all incognito windows. All incognito windows share the same cache. In other words, you cannot open multiple independent incognito windows. If you login in one of them and open another one, those two are related and you will see that the new window remembers the authentication information from the first window.
all you need to do is to type chrome://restart in the address bar and chrome, with all its apps that are running in background, will restart and the Auth password cache will be cleaned.
The authentication is cleared when you exit Chrome.
Note however, that by default Chrome is running apps in the background, so it may not really exit even if you close all Chrome windows. You can either change this behavior under advanced setting, or e.g. under Windows, you can completely exit Chrome by using the Chrome icon in the systray. There should be an icon if Chrome is still running, but maybe you'll find it only in the popup with the hidden icons. The context menu of the Chrome icon has an entry to completely exit Chrome, and you can also change the setting for running apps in the background using that menu.
Open the Chrome menu
Select Settings
Scroll to the bottom
Click Show advanced settings...
Scroll to the bottom
Under System uncheck the box labeled: Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed
function logout(url){
var str = url.replace("http://", "http://" + new Date().getTime() + "#");
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
else xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) location.reload();
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",str,true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic YXNkc2E6")
xmlhttp.send();
return false;
}
Right click on your Bookmark Bar -> Add Page...
Set the name as Logout Basic Auth
Set the URL as:
javascript: (function() {
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
location.reload()
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", location.origin, true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic aW52YWxpZDoK");
xmlhttp.send();
return false;
})()
On any webpage you need to logout of Basic Auth, click the bookmark.
This isn't exactly what the question is asking for but in case you accidentally saved basic auth credentials and want to clear them or update them:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6197437
Open Chrome.
At the top right, click More > and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under "Passwords and forms," click Manage passwords.
Under "Saved Passwords", click Remove on the site you want to clear saved basic auth credentials.
Steps 1-4 can be quickly navigated with this link: chrome://settings/passwords
This worked in Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115
There is no way to do this in Chrome as yet (Chrome 58)
I have found the best solution is to open the url in an Incognito window, which will force you to re-enter the basic authentication credentials.
When you want to change the credentials, close the Incognito window and launch another Incognito window.
Just do
https://newUsername:newPassword#example.com
...to override your old credentials.
I am using Chrome Version 83 and this is how I did it. Before following the steps make sure the tab of the site, whose Auth Details you want to delete is closed.
First, go to Settings >> Privacy and security.
Then click on Site settings option
Then click on View permissions and data stored across sites option
Search for the site whose Auth info you want to delete. In this example, I am using Stack Overflow.
Now click on the site and then click the Clear data button.
Now restart your browser and you will be asked for a fresh login. For restarting you can type chrome://restart in the address bar.
This is a quick trick.
For example you already input basic auth to url https://example.com by user1:password1. To clear it just open new tab then:
Goto: https://any:any#example.com then your password will be removed.
any:any is any string.
As mentioned by #SalCelli, chrome://restart works. However, this relaunches all the tabs.
Another method is to launch in incognito mode as suggested by CEGRD
However, if you could not like to restart & use incognito, on Chrome 86 (Mac), I found that the answer provided by #opsb & Mike only works with the below additional steps.
Enter the wrong username in the url without the resources
eg: if the url is http://mywebsite.com/resources/, it will not work if I enter http://wrong#mywebsite.com/resources/, but will work if I enter only http://wrong#mywebsite.com/
it clears the Basic Auth credentials
prompt for the credentials again
However, entering the valid credentials will not work, as in the background, chrome still send the wrong user as part of the url, even though the url appears right in the address bar When prompted for credentials you would need to Cancel, and click the address bar and reload the page from pressing enter. Now enter the correct password
May be old thread but thought of adding answer to help others.
I had the same issue with Advanced ReST Client App, I'm not able to clear basic authentication from Chrome neither from app. It simply stopped asking for credentials!
However, I managed to make it work by relaunching Chrome using About Google Chrome -> Relaunch.
Once Chrome is relaunched, when I accessed ReST service, it will ask for user name and password using basic authentication popup.
Hope this helps!
A lot of great suggestions here, I'll give the one that I found the most efficient:
Just change your password in the site. The old authentication will became outdated and Chrome will request it again.
Since I had a terminal open, I did a simple script to change the password and in two keypresses it were incremented.
Press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Delete
You will see popup in chrome
Check the above options and click clear data and you are done.
I'm using Chrome 75. What I've found is that restarting Chrome doesn't work. But restarting Chrome AND opening the developer tools does work. I don't have any explanation why this should be.
In Chrome, on the right-hand side of the URL bar when you are at a password protected URL, you should see a small key symbol. Click the symbol and it will take you directly to the Password Management area where you can remove the entry. That will ensure you receive future prompts or have an opportunity to enter a new password and save it.
If you do not see the key symbol, that same Password Management area can be accessed by going to Chrome -> Settings -> Passwords and forms -> Manage Passwords. Or more simply, this URL – chrome://settings/passwords.
For Chrome 66 I found the relevant option under:
Top right ... menu -> More Tools -> Clear Browsing Data
Click the "Advanced" tab
Check the "Passwords" box (and uncheck others you don't want cleared)
Click "Clear Data"
Using a new Incognito window is probably easier, but for those times you forget and want to clear the saved password, this does the trick without having to restart Chrome (which also works)
For Windows 10: What worked for me was clearing the credentials in the Windows Credentials in the Credential Manager.
I was using LastPass password manager, deleting credentials in LastPass solved the issue.
Weirdest thing, but in my case, I was trying to access a page with basic auth and Chrome was sending invalid credentials without even prompting for it. After I logged out from my LastPass plugin, everything was back to normal. So I think LastPass is starting to support Basic Auth but it's not giving the option of what password to use, it looks like it's just sending a random password for a domain that matches (which is very problematic in my case).
Thought it might help someone.
In my case (Win Chrome v100) it worked when using https://#domain.com to delete the credentials. Verify in the dev tools and querying document.URL.
Chrome uses the same Internet Options as IE.
Try opening your Internet Options and removing the URL from "Trusted Sites." This should regenerate a 401 call for credentials when you restart the browser and visit the URL again.
You may need to remove it from "Intranet Sites" as well.
Things changed a lot since the answer was posted.
Now you will see a small key symbol on the right hand side of the URL bar.
Click the symbol and it will take you directly to the saved password dialog where you can remove the password.
Successfully tested in Chrome 49
You can also do it via the settings page, chrome://chrome/settings
Under The Hood
Advanced Settings
Passwords and Forms
Then click the link Manage saved passwords.
You should be able to clear your credentials from your browser via "Clear Browsing Data..." in chrome://settings/advanced
