解决方法 #

1. 修复路径转义问题 #

Windows路径中的\是转义字符，直接编写会被解析为特殊字符，导致路径识别错误。将路径修改为以下两种格式之一：

• 使用双反斜杠：

  chrome_driver_path = "D:\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe"
  options.binary_location = "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
  

• 使用原始字符串（路径前加r）：

  chrome_driver_path = r"D:\Downloads\chromedriver.exe"
  options.binary_location = r"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
  

2. 清理残留进程 #

打开任务管理器，结束所有chrome.exe和chromedriver.exe进程，再重新运行代码，避免进程占用导致无法启动新实例。

3. 确保版本完全匹配 #

当前Chrome版本为109.0.5414.169，WebDriver版本为109.0.5414.74，主版本一致但小版本存在差异。建议下载与Chrome完全匹配的WebDriver版本，消除兼容性隐患。

4. 提升运行权限 #

右键VSCode图标，选择「以管理员身份运行」，再执行代码，避免因权限不足无法创建Chrome进程。

5. 简化启动参数（可选） #

如果上述方法无效，先移除options.binary_location配置，让Selenium自动查找Chrome路径，测试基础启动是否正常：

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

chrome_driver_path = r"D:\Downloads\chromedriver.exe"
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
chrome_service = Service(chrome_driver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_service, options=options)
driver.get('https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC57gBc9mbUVAXRdkOfPKaYw/videos/upload')
