USB: usb_device_handle_win.cc:1020 Failed to read descriptor from node connection error with ChromeDriver v87 / Chrome v87 using Selenium on Windows10

My apologies for the log spam. If you aren’t having issues connecting to a device with WebUSB you can ignore these warnings. They are triggered by Chrome attempting to read properties of USB devices that are currently suspended.

I encounered this problem yesterday,and I has fixed it by update all available windows update.

A partial solution that worked for me

I was getting this error too. It was stopping my program running.

1. I unplugged all my USB devices, ran the program, with no error.
2. Plugged the devices back in, ran the program. I am still getting the error, however, the program finished without the error stopping the program.

However these log messages can be supressed from appearing on the console through an easy hack i.e. by adding an argument through add_experimental_option() as follows:

options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])

Code Block:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
# to supress the error messages/logs
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:WebDriverschromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')

Note: For WebdriverIO on Windows 10, this suppresses the error messages for me:

"goog:chromeOptions": { "excludeSwitches": ["enable-logging"] }

This code works for me to suppress the USB device error messages.

Browser 111.0.5563.65
Chrome Driver 111.0.5563.65

The experimental option does not seem to work on its own.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions #as EC
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--ignore-certificate-errors")
options.add_argument("--disable-webgl")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-logging"])
service = Service("chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service,options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
time.sleep(5)
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[id='L2AGLb']"))).click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.close

The solution to suppress the error messages in C# is:

var chromeDriverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddExcludedArguments("excludeSwitches", "enable-logging");
var chromeDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeDriverService, chromeOptions);

This way the messages won’t appear in the Console.
