selenium no such session excpetion: session <id> does not exist in IEDriverServer

I have a few selenium tests on a react application. All tests are passing for chrome and firefox without any error. However, in IE (internet explorer v11) - all tests pass, but fails at the tearDown method: -
teardown method: -

What I've tried: -
initializing WebDriver driver = null in browser case class
Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Disabled "protected zone" for all four zones
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true); this is an alias for INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS
if(driver != null) {
driver.close();
}
I've tried all these which were mentioned in other stack overflow questions, however, I end up with the same error.
Do let me know if any more info. regarding the code is required.
EDIT:
I've noticed that my instance to the new InternetExplorerDriver has been striked through
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver (ieCapabilities);
This was striked, as DesiredCapabilities have been deprecated.
Before: -
DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);
Now: -
InternetExplorerOptions IEoptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
IEoptions.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IEoptions);
This fixed the striked-through.
When I run the IE set of tests individually i.e. without chrome, firefox & edge tests. I can see all the tests passing & no error at teardown method. I am Unable to figure out the reason!

IEDriver always showing localhost title instead of given URL title

When driver launching the browser it is always getting open with local host
and then navigating to given URL but driver is not getting the current page
title instead always showing local host title "This page can’t be
displayed". I am posting my code and error i am getting, please tell me
where i am wrong.

HTML source might help me better to analyze. However, you can also debug the code by using getpagesource() function after switching to particular frame or window to check if it's properly switching to the page and see if the element is available in the page you are switching to.

selenium webdriver trigger chrome but doesn't open the get url

I am trying to run my tests against chrome, but chrome is triggered without navigating to the url that the get() method has here bellow is my code:
public void startSelenium() throws MalformedURLException {
driver = getDriverInstance( "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", "chrome");
}
public WebDriver getDriverInstance(
String Url,
String browser ) throws MalformedURLException {
WebDriver driver = null;
URL url = new URL( Url );
if( browser.equals( "firefox" ) ) {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
driver = new RemoteWebDriver( url, capability );
} else if( browser.equals( "chrome" ) ) {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
driver = new RemoteWebDriver( url, capability );
} else if( browser.equals( "IE" ) ) {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
driver = new RemoteWebDriver( url, capability );
}
return driver;
}
and here is the class that inherit the above methods
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
and here is the configuration of my standalone server
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
but the window is open and the get method is not executed. and this is the error that i have got in my eclips

I have fixed the problem it turns out that i have downloaded the old version of IEWebdriverServer so i just had to update that and update my IE and include them in the path and everything was working just fine.

Getting NoSuchElementException on webelement (Same webelement is getting found but sometimes i got the Exception)

I have created this test script to test a website. The problem is that sometime i am able to click edit button but sometime i am getting NoElementFoundException for the same button. I searched for the same type of problem on the forum and did the code changes as per recommended but non of them worked for me. In the attached picture i circled the button in red colour for which i am getting the exception.

Posting an answer as I couldn't work out how to place code in comments...
The error says it can't find the element, so either the XPath has an issue, or the element doesn't exist. You could try making the element your wait condition.
....
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 30)
window.findElement(By.id("...")).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[#name='title']")))
webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='title']"))
....

Please check your XPath ".//*[#id='edit_resume_section3_open' and not(#disabled)]" correctness.
If it is correct then try to wait for this element and if it is available then only click on it.
You can use below code to wait for element:
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 60)).until(new ExpectedCondition<WebElement>() {
public WebElement apply(WebDriver d) {
return d.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='edit_resume_section3_open' and not(#disabled)]"));
}
});
