Everytime that the chrome opens by selenium webdriver it create a new temporary profile, but I can't login everytime. I need when it opens a browser, it set my cookies and my login.

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
EDIT:

I've already tried:

VBA Code:
driver.SetProfile "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default", True

driver.AddArgument ("C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default")

driver.AddArgument ("--no-sandbox")

The path is ok, it opens with the correct path that i passed, but it's continue don't kept me logged. Every link it opens i have to loggin again. I've read a lot of foruns, i can't solve this.

Could someone help me, please?

Problem solved, i'll not delete if someone has the same problem maybe it can help, when you look the path is:


C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

But you must write only until "User Data", "Default" is automatically added in the end, otherwise the path will be 2 folders "Default" at the end.

I only changed it and wrote:

driver.SetProfile "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data", True

Now it's perfect.

Have you been able to log in to your account in Chrome?
I have a similar problem and have applied your line "driver.SetProfile "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data", True"
After this, Chrome asks me to choose the profile (there are several on my PC), and after that nothing happens if a browser window with that profile was already open, or it reopens the same window if I close it before running the script. In any case, I have no way to open any website via selenium VBA under this profile. If I omit this line, I can open a new browser instance without a profile that I can control with Selenium, but I cannot log in to my profile as Google rejects log-in from a browser that is controlled by automation software like Selenium.
