Help opening certain Chrome tab

[Davider]

The following error messages often appear in practical use:

Au.Types.NotFoundException: Not found.
   at line 68 in _Chrome.cs, Chrome._ATBU_Window(wnd w, wildex wx, Boolean activateWindow)
   at line 40 in _Chrome.cs, Chrome.ActivateTabByURL(String url, Boolean activateWindow)

I encounter these situations while using the code:
1. The Chrome browser window may be minimized.
2. The Chrome browser window may be on the second monitor.
3. There are two Chrome browser windows, each on separate screens (on the first and second monitors).
4. The Chrome browser is not launched.

The issue persists with missing windows and controls, even with delays set, and it appears randomly.
