Open Google Incognito using AHK without a non-Incognito window - incognito-mode

If I open Incognito without opening first a non-Incognito I can't search in Incognito...
F::run, C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --incognito
(I use "F" just for faster in testing.)
To be able to search in incognito, I have to open first a non-incognito window.
Is it possible to open Google Incognito using AHK without opening first a non-incognito window?

if you use a layer beetween for e.g. VNC connection you could use imageSearch. You could see a working example here on youtube: https://youtu.be/sPdgCjLFc54
BTW VNC server and VNC client at the same machine with same IP.
helps that?

Chrome request not making it to server

I have a Windows 2016 Server with IIS 10.0.14393.0 installed that is maintained within an isolated VM environment. (The entire VM environment is isolated from the real-world.)
The web server is configured with three websites through IIS, and each website is assigned a dedicated IP. The contents in each of these websites is a single "hello world" html page that can be accessed via a browser from from my development workstation using Microsoft Edge, but I cannot access these pages using Chrome. The simple hello world html page was created only to assist in troubleshooting this issue.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT and based on the IIS logs, the request is never reaching the web server. IIS logs do indicate the request/reponse when accessing using Edge.
From my workstation, I can successfully ping the web server, traceroute output does not indicate any unexpected hops, etc. From all indications, the problem appears to be isolated to Chrome and only when accessing the sites on that server. I have other servers (W2016 and W2019) in the real-world with a similar configurations and real applications deployed there that work as expected with any browser.
I am using the latest Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and can access other web based content within this VM environment using Chrome, just not on that one server.
I am almost to the point of deleting that VM instance and starting over so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT
This is a communication problem indication that there is a problem with the user's local network connection. It can appear when your internet is too slow or your connection is taking too long, or the page or website you are visiting may be too busy, or when the website in question is not set up correctly, or even if the website is trying to perform more than your server can manage.
I'm not sure if you've seen the following methods, but you can try.
Method 1: Browse in Incognito Mode and Remove Extensions.
You should first browse the website in incognito mode to check if you
can open the website normally, if so then the culprit of the
ERR_TIMED_OUT error may be your plugin or extension. Therefore, you
need to enable extensions one by one to check for errors, and if there
is an error enabling an extension, you need to remove it from your
browser.
Method 2: Delete the Default Chrome Folder
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ in the box and click OK.
Close your Chrome if it is opened.
A new window pops out, find the folder named Default. Backup the folder anywhere else, then right-click the folder to choose Delete.
After you have deleted the folder successfully, open your Chrome and
then visit the webpage again that you searched before to check if the
error still appears.
Method 3: Update Network Drivers
If your network driver is out of date, you may encounter ERR_TIMED_OUT
errors. Here's how to update network drivers.
Right-click the Start button to select Device Manager.
Scroll down to find Network Adapters and click on it to expand it.
Right-click on your network device and select Update Driver.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software option to start to search and update your network driver to a new version.
After that, restart your computer and open the sites again with Chrome
to see if you can open them.
Method 4: Disable Firewall & Antivirus Software
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software may cause trouble.
Therefore, you should try to disable them and check if the problem can
be solved. If you find it helpful to disable these programs, you can
check the firewall settings. Allow Chrome to connect to public or
private networks. If it doesn't work. Permanently delete these
programs, and then use other antivirus software or firewalls.
Method 5: Check Hosts File
When you meet the ERR_TIMED_OUT error accessing a specific website,
you can check the Hosts file to see if the website has been blocked.
Here is the way to do that:
Press Win + E keys at the same time to open File Explorer and then go to the Local Disk C: > Windows > System32 > Drivers > etc.
Open the host file with notepad. If you see the web address that you cannot visit, delete that entire line from the host file and save.
After that, open the Chrome and see if you can open the specific
website.
Method 6: Reinstall Chrome Browser
If none of the methods above fix the ERR_TIMED_OUT error, then you
should try reinstalling Chrome. Here is the tutorial:
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run box, then type appwiz.cpl and click OK to open a new window.
Find Google Chrome in the list, and then right-click it to choose Uninstall.
After uninstalling Google Chrome successfully, you also need to delete its leftover files. Open the Run box again, then type %appdata%
and click OK to open a new window.
Find the Google folder and then right-click it to choose Delete.
Go to Google Chrome’s site to download the latest version of the browser, and then install it.
The above methods are from the web article. To avoid link being unavailable, I have also presented the details. I am not sure if the above methods can help you, but I hope you can solve the problem soon.

How to open Live server in specific Chrome Profile

I have tried changing settings but I could not find setting that could open the live server in the another profile of chrome. If anyone have some idea how to do it please let me know. BTW I have no problem using the default chrome profile or incognito setting provided in the drop drop list, I am just curious that is that possible if we can open live server in another chrome profile than the default one.
I'm not sure what live server you have in mind, but you can probably use the command line for your system. For example, if you're using Windows and the Live Server extension for vsc, under the "Advance Custom Browser Cmd Line" option you can use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome.exe --profile-directory=Profile 1".

Is there a way to add Chrome Dedicated Developer Tools to Chrome Apps list?

When debugging server side code with Chrome Inspector, you have to reload Inspector every time you restart the server (as the URI changes). I eventually found out that if you use the Open dedicated DevTools for Node link in chrome://inspect/#devices, this tool will automatically reload with a node restart. This tool is also cool because you get a new window with the app as a full-page, like:
So, here's the questie: Is it possible to add Open Dedicated DevTools as an App to Chrome's Apps page?

is it possible to keep a packaged app running after `chrome.runtime.reload()` without additional windows?

I have a packaged app that calls chrome.runtime.reload(). On a desktop OS (Windows, OSX) this call will cause the application to close, but not restart unless there is an additional Chrome page open.
I assume this is because if it is the only Chrome app running, it closes the Chrome process entirely and there is nothing to restart it.
Adding the background permission looks like it should work, according to the documentation but it does not seem to actually start Chrome when the user logs in (and keep it running) as the documentation states.
A user can override this globally with a setting.
In Chrome's settings with "Show advanced settings":
System > Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed
Perhaps it is disabled on your development system.

If nothing works, and your Use a proxy server your LAN setting is unchecked, check it and then uncheck it . Believe it or not it might work. I don't know if I should consider it a bug or not.
