I got error like script returns unexpected result while running selenium test case

Question

I am using latest chrome version(76.0.3809.100) and selenium latest version(3.141.59) with latest webdriver manager version(3.6.2) and issue is occuring showing script return unexpected result.

As per search related to this problem on stackoverflow i have checked all links and tried with upgrading each chrome and selenium but none works.

Here is the pom.xml

      <dependency>
        <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
        <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
        <version>3.6.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>3.141.59</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
        <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
        <version>6.14.3</version>
    </dependency>

Code that is accessing xpath

List<WebElement> allVINs = null;
try {
         allVINs =     driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[@target='_blank']"));
    } catch (Exception e1) {
        Log.info("Something wrong with storing element in the list and the issue is: " + e1);
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

I expect to run it successfully without errors but it shows exception like below
