    Hi,
    I have to navigate to a web page and download some files from that page. When I navigate to the page the data is not being displayed. If I refresh that page It was saying like below.
    When I search on this error it was related to some proxy and cookies setings.

    So, When I used StartBrowser Command bot is opening one chrome profile which is different from what I use daily i.e. Person 1. In that Person 1 chrome profile, If I made Setting changes such as site settings,cookies. The Chrome retrieving its default settings once the window closed.

    How can I made changes in the chrome settings which the Bot opens?
    Help me out with this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Shravya. 

    What you're describing is the expected behavior from a browser started by a bot. Bot manipulated web browsers are not standard web browser instances, they are similar to an incognito browser instance, in the sense that they are kind of "naked", stripped from most standard cookies and other configurations from the standard browser instance.

    That being said, there are ways we can fix this. Have you tried using the "Load User Profile" parameter of the Start Browser command? From my understanding, you have not enabled it right?

    By enabling that parameter, when the bot starts the browser, it should load the user profile from the standard browser, and by doing that, all cookie configurations should be loaded in the browser instance started by the bot.

    Let me know if any of this helps out!

    Thank you @Vinicius Maidana for helping out.

    If the browser is already in use it has been throwing an error.​ In that case, what we have to do!!
