I am running on a Windows 10 machine, Internet Explorer 11, python 3.6, selenium 3.4.3 with IEDriverServer 3.5. I am trying to open up IE using the following code.
from selenium import webdriver
import os
driverLocation = "C:\\Users\\JD\\PycharmProjects\\Lib\\IEDriverServer.exe"
os.environ["webdriver.ie.driver"] = driverLocation
driver = webdriver.Ie(driverLocation)
google = "https://google.com"
driver.get(google)
The output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/J/PycharmProjects/Automation/IE_Test.py", line 7, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Ie(driverLocation)
File "C:\Users\JD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\ie\webdriver.py", line 57, in __init__

File "C:\Users\JD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 188, in start_session
response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
File "C:\Users\JD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 256, in execute
self.error_handler.check_response(response)

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Invalid capabilities in alwaysMatch: unknown capability named platform
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
UPDATE:
I added this to my previous code,
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER
print(capabilities["platform"])
print(capabilities["browserName"])
OUTPUT:
WINDOWS
internet explorer
File "C:\Users\JD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 194, in check_response
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Invalid capabilities in alwaysMatch: unknown capability named platform
UPDATE:
I have also tried setting the capabilities but still recieve the same error: "unknown capabilities named platform
caps = DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER.copy()
caps["platform"] = "WINDOWS"
caps["browserName"] = "internet explorer"
caps["requireWindowFocus"] = True
browser = webdriver.Ie(capabilities=caps,
executable_path="C:\\Users\\JD\\PycharmProjects\\Lib\\IEDriverServer.exe")
browser.get("https://www.facebook.com/")
I had the same problem for couple of days.
My workaround for this was to delete platform and version keys from capabilities dictionary
Example:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
#create capabilities
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER
#delete platform and version keys
capabilities.pop("platform", None)
capabilities.pop("version", None)
#start an instance of IE
driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path="C:\\your\\path\\to\\IEDriverServer.exe", capabilities=capabilities)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
My guess, so far, is that this error happens because w3c_caps are passed as the only right capabilities. You can see that in the Traceback:
response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
when you click on it you will see that:
w3c_caps["alwaysMatch"].update(capabilities)
As you can see here _W3C_CAPABILITY_NAMES hold different values than the ones we are passing.
We are passing "WINDOWS" as "platform", while _W3C_CAPABILITY_NAMES has "platformName" and accepts only small caps. Same goes for "version" key.
So we were adding capabilities that are not recognized.
This workaround is by no means perfect, and I was able to start IE in selenium java without deleting some of the capabilities.
EDIT: Another solution can be found here in Grimlek comment, which essentially says that you should delete "capabilities": w3c_caps from start_session(self, capabilities, browser_profile=None) (from remote\webdriver.py). Code looks like this:
w3c_caps["alwaysMatch"].update(capabilities)
parameters = {"capabilities": w3c_caps,
"desiredCapabilities": capabilities}
Then you would not need to delete keys from capabilities.
ANOTHER EDIT: I have just updated my selenium-python from 3.4.3 to 3.5.0 and there's no longer need for messing with capabilities.

Your main issue is you have already an open Google Chrome browser session opened for your manual browsing.
There is no such error in your code block. However it seems you are executing program as an Administrator. But,
A common cause for Chrome to crash during startup is running Chrome as root user (administrator) on Linux. While it is possible to work around this issue by passing --no-sandbox flag when creating your WebDriver session, such a configuration is unsupported and highly discouraged. You need to configure your environment to run Chrome as a regular user instead.
Solution
Before you execute your test as an user e.g. Administrator, ensure that you don't have any open Chrome browser windows using the same user i.e. Administrator.
I have a problem, every, single, TIME
Basically this is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe"
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--no-default-browser-check")
options.add_argument("--no-first-run")
options.add_argument("--disable-default-apps")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/')
and the error is
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
I used Pycharm and tried to use VS code with python 3.4 and 3.7 and 3.8.3
plz help me I'm getting tired of this.

Your error is not
unable to send message to renderer
as you mentioned. According to the stack trace you posted the problem in the line 6
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path="chromedriver.exe", )
and the problem is:
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
It seems like you specified an invalid path to the chromedriver and Selenium is unable to initialize the driver and create a session.
You should also check the version of the chromedriver with the guide.
Here you can download the valid version (I have taken your Chrome version from the stacktrace).
yes it did start and then close with the error log above, and also i have the correct version
Here's my code and the error Python provides.
I'm a beginner using Python 3.6. Can anyone helps find out what's wrong? Many thanks.

You have to take care of a couple of things as follows:
As you are using chromedriver v2.31 the error clearly states Chrome version must be >= 58.0.3029.0. So you need to bump up your Google Chrome version to v58.0 or above.
If you want to specify the absolute path of the chromedriver within single quotes '...' then you have to provide single forward slashes \ only.
If you are assigning the webdriver instance to the driver, you have to use the driver instance only to open any url
Here is your own code with the above mentioned changes:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://www.bing.com/')
I am using Selenium to automate the Web page test with IE11, I did all of the steps following the instruction from https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#required-configuration, but still error when I run my automation, I have not been able to bring up IE browser yet.
(For IE 11 only, you will need to set a registry entry on the target computer so that the driver can maintain a connection to the instance of Internet Explorer it creates. For 32-bit Windows installations, the key you must examine in the registry editor is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. For 64-bit Windows installations, the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. Please note that the FEATURE_BFCACHE subkey may or may not be present, and should be created if it is not present. Inside this key, create a DWORD value named iexplore.exe with the value of 0.)
Protected mode settings are the same for all zones
Enhanced Protected Mode is disabled.
Set Zoom level to 100%
But I still have not been able to bring up IE browser, I got following error:

Windows 7 64-bit
IEDriverServer_x64_3.4.0
Python 2.7.13
Here is the Answer to your Question:
While working with Selenium 3.4.0, IEDriverServer 3.4.0, IE 11 through Python 3.6.1 bindings, you can take help of the DesiredCapabilities class to make a few configuration to open IE 11 as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
cap = DesiredCapabilities().INTERNETEXPLORER
cap['platform'] = "Win8"
cap['version'] = "11"
cap['browserName'] = "internet explorer"
cap['ignoreProtectedModeSettings'] = True
cap['nativeEvents'] = False
cap['requireWindowFocus'] = True
cap['INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS'] = True
driver=webdriver.Ie(capabilities=cap, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\IEDriverServer.exe')
driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/")
Let me know if this Answers your Question.

Why this trace appeared? Maybe someone faced the same issue.. Any help will be appreciated
UPDATED
Resolved. Current IeWebDriverServer version replaced with v2.48
Check the following:
You are using the same security settings, for all the zones.
You are using the correct driver. Use the 32 bit when in doubt.
Make sure your registry settings are correct.
Zoom level is 100%.
