title: Selenium Webdriver - SessionNotCreatedError
body: <p>I'm getting this error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>SessionNotCreatedError: session not created exception from timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 600.000</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am running protractor tests on Windows 8 Chrome. What happens is that a  Chrome tab will open but won't load the url, and will open
  <code>C:\Program Files(x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe</code> shell window. Then nothing else happens and the test times out. Which makes sense that I get a timeout error. <strong>But I'm not sure why it isn't loading the website in the first place.</strong></p>
  
  <p>When I close the chrome tab I then get this message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>SessionNotCreatedError: session not created exception from tab crashed`</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am up to date on both selenium standalone and chromedriver. The only thing I can think of is that Chrome was recently updated to 46.0.2490.71, <em>but I don't have any problems on Windows 7 with this same version.</em></p>
  
  <p>What is the issue here??</p>
  
  <p>Here's the full log: </p>
