Answer 1

This looks similar to a bug report on Chrome 51-53: org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.DriverServlet - Exception: unknown error: unable to discover open pages

That bug links to the main Chrome bug "Fails to navigate to URL when Chrome 51 is launched in session 0 / through CI". Launching a Jenkins slave installed as a Windows service uses session 0.

The gist is running Chrome from session 0 broke in Chrome 51. The short term workarounds include dropping back to Chrome 50 (if you can find it), or running with the Chrome option "no-sandbox", like so:

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); 
chromeOptions.AddArguments("test-type"); 
chromeOptions.AddArguments("no-sandbox"); 
PropertiesCollection.driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

A fix is expected in Chrome 54, however the bug response says they aren't planning long-term support for session 0. I am all ears if anyone knows how to launch a Jenkins slave from something other than session 0 on Windows.
