Answer 1

This error message...

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:60683/devtools/browser/9b15c32e-ddc1-4ddd-9abe-bcf597ad4821

...implies that the ChromeDriver raised an error while in trying to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. google-chrome session.

Analysis

This error surfaces on windows-10 systems due to an error in callback of an attached USB device which isn't functioning properly.

This error is defined within usb_device_handle_win.cc as follows:

void UsbDeviceHandleWin::GotDescriptorFromNodeConnection(
    TransferCallback callback,
    scoped_refptr<base::RefCountedBytes> request_buffer,
    scoped_refptr<base::RefCountedBytes> original_buffer,
    Request* request_ptr,
    DWORD win32_result,
    size_t bytes_transferred) {
  std::unique_ptr<Request> request = UnlinkRequest(request_ptr);
  if (win32_result != ERROR_SUCCESS) {
    SetLastError(win32_result);
    USB_PLOG(ERROR) << "Failed to read descriptor from node connection";
    std::move(callback).Run(UsbTransferStatus::TRANSFER_ERROR, nullptr, 0);
    return;
  }

Solution

This error isn't harmful and doesn't blocks the spawning of the new Browsing Context i.e. the Chrome Browser session. So you can safely ignore the error.
