Question

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unable to discover open page

Browser is opening but the desired web page is NOT opening & browser is is getting closed within 5secs. After this the exception is showing up in IDE. Attached the screenshot of the the browser This is how the browser looks when it opened

Tried uninstalling (deleted user data also)& reinstalling chrome, but din't work :(

Using JDK 8,

selenium 3.6.0 for Java,

chrome driver-not sure(may be 2.31)

My code

package newPackage;

  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

  public class MyClass {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\ChromeDriver_Selenium\\chromedriver.exe"); 

        WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(); 
        driver.get("http://google.com"); 
  }
}
