My problem is when I click on a desktop icon, it opens a link in already opened chrome browser in a new tab. How do I attach with the already opened browser and not a new one?

The below code returns a null because there is no window opened through selenium ofcourse, so yeah.

Set<String> windows = webdriver.getWindowHandles();
System.out.println(windows);

Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks In advance.

There is no way to attach the chrome window that you've opened from the desktop application to your WebDriver instance.

If you want to be able to control a web page with a Selenium - you must pass your URL to a driver like that:

 webdriver.get("https://www.your_link.com");

You might think about the way of getting and storing your URL as a variable and passing it into your code.

That would also be helpful if you add a bit more details about the problem. It's a bit unclear at what stage of the test you open the web page with a desktop application. Selenium can't be used to test desktop applications. Code sample of the test from your project would also help.
