How to solve sessionnotcreated issue in Selenium webdriver for Chrome browser?

I am trying to launch Chrome browser but getting an error of "session not created" in Selenium. It research on it and I found if the browser and Chrome driver is not compatible then we will get such issue, so download the latest version of Chrome Driver i.e. Chrome Driver 2.45 which is compatible with v70-72.
So I have downloaded browser version 70.0.3538.67, but still I am unable to launch the Chrome browser and getting the same error. I am using Eclipse 2018-09 and selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59. Below is my code and error message:
Code:-
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class open_browser {
public WebDriver driver;
public void aa1() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "F:\\Selenium
files\\chromedriver.exe");
driver= new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("google.com");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
open_browser ob=new open_browser();
ob.aa1();
}
}

Unable to run Headless Chrome Browser on Linux Machine using Selenium Webdriver java

Used Selenium Webdriver(V2.29), selenium-api version(3.4.0), Chrome
Version (62.0.3202.94) 64 bit and tried to run chrome browser in linux machine with the below code.
WebDriver driver;
String chromeBinaryPath = "/data/Package/CHROME_NEW";
String driverPath = "/data/Package/Selenium/WebDrivers/ChromeDrivers/chromedriver_linux32/chromedriver";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", driverPath);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging","true");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.logfile","/data/Package/log/chromedriver.log");
ChromeOptions optionsLinux64 = new ChromeOptions();
optionsLinux64.setBinary(chromeBinaryPath);
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--headless");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--headless");
driver = new ChromeDriver(optionsLinux64);
When tried to create a chrome session, getting below exception:

Can anyone help me in resolving with the above issue.

This should be work:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setHeadless(true);

Try adding window size
optionsLinux64.addArguments("window-size=1024x780");

How to run selenium tests on chrome if only binary file of chrome is placed in a server location in E drive

I have a situation in my project as below :
My code was executing as expected till the IT admin uninstalled chrome and FF from Jenkins server.
After raising a concern they placed a chrome binary in E drive .( E:\GC Local\GoogleChrome).But Chrome is not installed anywhere
I am facing issues to resolve this.
Do anyone guide here ?
Code I used :
if ("chrome".equals(browser))
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
System.getProperty("user.dir")
+ "\\src\\test\\resources\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
}

Will it work for you ?
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("E:\\GC Local\\GoogleChrome");

I understand that in homepath \app data chrome should be installed by default to run chrome tests. In my case , there is no chrome istalled in homepath-app but in E drive

When I used the below code :
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("E:\\GCLocal\\GoogleChrome\\GoogleChromePortable.exe");
// System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Selenium\\Browsers\\chromedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
System.getProperty("user.dir")
+ "\\src\\test\\resources\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
I am getting getting the following :

The above approach is correct. My issue was that portable-chrome binary refused to open due to some issues in server .code was fine.
This happened because of portable chrome binary performance issues which I solved like this :
Google Chrome Portable may run slowly from some flash drives. You can speed this up by copying GoogleChromePortable.ini from the GoogleChromePortable\Other\Source directory to the GoogleChromePortable directory and editing it to set RunLocally=true. If you do so, be sure to allow Google Chrome Portable time to copy your profile back after shutting it down. Of course, there are privacy implications to copying your personal data locally to a PC not under your control.
Thanks

No clue for this. Do I still need to configure something?

There are 2 kinds of
1. Microsoft WebDriver: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48212
and
WebDriver for Windows Insiders: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48740
using 1 with this issue. using 2 works for me

It's some time ago, but here is the solution for everyone with the same error..
Your Windows build must be equal to the Microsoft WebDriver version(eg 14393). Just open start menu, type in "winver" and use the correct WebDriver (right hand side) on following page:

The code (in Java) simply tries to instantiate a default instance of Chromedriver, and fails. The following message also shows in the log, which confuses me. It appears that the driver is opening, but stopping immediately?
Starting ChromeDriver 2.14.313457 (3d645c400edf2e2c500566c9aa096063e707c9cf) on port 4601

The instantiation is done as:
WebDriver webDriver = null;
String chromeDriverLocation = MyCustomPropertyReader.getProperty("webdriver.chrome.binary.location");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverLocation);
final DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
I am able to run the Chromedriver from the command prompt, and I have also checked that all the environment variables that are needed to load it up and indeed available during the instantiation.
Could someone tell me what I might be missing, or if there is a way to obtain more information about the cause of this failure?

The issue was resolved by updating the browser installation, and making sure that both Chromedriver and the Chrome browser can be run from the command prompt.
