facing error while running the Selenium in Python (pycharm)

Question

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/kushk/PycharmProjects/SeleniumPython/Multibrowser.py", line 5, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
  File "C:\Users\kushk\PycharmProjects\SeleniumPython\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\chrome\webdriver.py", line 76, in __init__
    RemoteWebDriver.__init__(
  File "C:\Users\kushk\PycharmProjects\SeleniumPython\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 157, in __init__
    self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile)
  File "C:\Users\kushk\PycharmProjects\SeleniumPython\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 252, in start_session
    response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
  File "C:\Users\kushk\PycharmProjects\SeleniumPython\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "C:\Users\kushk\PycharmProjects\SeleniumPython\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.
  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
  (The process started from chrome location C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Please share the relevant code, not just the error trace

The problem does not exist in the code that you have written. It is in the system you are using. Try the following:

Restarting your computer.
Making sure that selenium is installed properly.
Making sure that chrome functions properly without the code and checking its functionality from task manager.

Regards.
