Getting Default Adapter Failed error for Selenium Chrome Webdriver

Question

So I had created this selenium bot to do some task on a website. It was working fine till last week, but suddenly I started seeing errors in the console (screenshot attached). But it doesn't end the program.

The bot doesn't use Bluetooth. It is simple bot that fills a form and then submits.

Has anyone seen this error before? I would really appreciate if someone could advise me on how to resolve this.

Edited: I wasn't able to find any solution for this. Hence, I changed webdriver to Firefox.

P.S. My chrome browser version is 81.0.4044.138, which is compatible with chrome webdriver that I downloaded.

Provide a [minimal, reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). — rizerphe, May 08 '20 at 10:11
Hi, Thanks for responding. The error does not always show up, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Hence it is difficult to reproduce or guess when this error will come. Also, the code hasn't been changed, it was working fine till last week. The error is coming from Chrome webdriver, which I have already attached. I did some research and I didn't find much about this error on Google. — threeeyedmonk, May 08 '20 at 10:22
