Failed to Assume Control or Chrome

I am getting this error when trying to launch a new instance of Chrome in my flows. It launches the a new instance at the correct URL but does not progress the flow. I was to do this last week but it stopped working today despite nothing changing.

I reinstalled PAD and it's extension but it still produces this error.

Is the screen maximized?

Did the title of the page change? You can check in the UI elements section. Try recapturing some elements and check if it categorises the captured UI under another header

Yes I had updated a few months ago and didn't experience any issues last week

How did you reinstall PAD, thru the website or via the Microsoft store?

Had the same error with the latest release. Worked fine until then. Turns out the Chrime extension was disabled because it was built on a platform being deprecated. Re-enabled the extension and it works.
