getting this error while running flutter app on chrome

Question

I'm trying to run my app on Chrome but I'm getting these errors. Also installed windows visual c++ update but still not working f5:

Unable to launch browser : spawn unknown 
  "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "pwa-chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Chrome against localhost",
            "url": "http://localhost:8080",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}

Flutter run -d chrome:

Go to Google Chrome File location, let say on Windows 10/11, or even in a shortcut icon -> Right-click -> Properties -> Open File Location .

You will see two applications of the chrome: chrome.exe and chrome_new.exe. Run the chrome_new.exe and it will delete and replace the previous chrome.exe.

After that, you will now be able to start and use Google Chrome again.
