[🐛 Bug]: unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32000,"message":"Browser window not found"}

[pranesh517]

What happened?

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32000,"message":"Browser window not found"}
is received during driver.manage().window().maximize();

Tried using Selenium Manager as well, facing same issue while maximizing the browser window.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Below is the script to reproduce the issue:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
        options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
        options.addArguments("--remote-debugging-pipe");
        options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.navigate().to("https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/selenium_manager/");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }

I cannot reproduce the issue.

Does this happen when you use Firefox? Have you tried it on a different machine?
