When attempting to run my website, and have IIS Express set to Google Chrome, the browser will not launch my site. IIS Express works with any other browser but for some reason does not work with Chrome. It will work with a chrome argument of --incognito, but then I lose any data previously saved on my browser instance. How can I make chrome open when running IIS Express? The version I am using is 16.8.2

Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Thanks for your understanding.

The product is Visual Studio...it is about a function of visual studio
Hi @Christopher Dutton , thank you for the feedback. And I’m sorry that I missed the important information that you mentioned you are using IIS Express in VS version 16.8.2.
I tested on my side by using VS 2019 version 16.8.2 with the Google Chrome version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit), and it worked well. I suggest you try these steps to troubleshoot this issue.
1). Not sure if this issue is caused by incompatibilities, I suggest you update Google Chrome to the latest(newer) version and kindly run your website again.
2). Please try to remove the Google Chrome which is used by IIS Express, and then re-add it again. Choose Browse With… in the dropdown list of “IIS Express” button > select Google Chrome > click Remove > Add > Browse and choose the Google Chrome > set the name > OK > Browse and check if IIS Express opens Google Chrome successfully this time.
3). Please also try to disable any third-party extensions from Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > select third-party extensions and click Disable, then run the website again.
4). If possible, please consider resetting settings of Visual Studio (follow this document: Reset settings and select “General” at step 4).
5). Please go to this path: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_XXXX and rename(or delete) every folders named “ComponentModelCache”.
6). Please close every VS instances and go to your solution folder, then rename(or delete) the hidden .vs, bin and obj folders, after that launch VS and rebuild your solution.
7). If this issue persists, please try to create a new project and check if this newly created project could use IIS Express and open Google Chrome, also, I suggest you can try to uninstall Google Chrome and reinstall it, then test again.
Feel free to let me know the results.
