Weird Python Selenium error message when asked to find an element

I tried to find an element by class using startButton = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "start is-armed") and I got a very weird error message. The end almost looks like it could be assembly language:
[23248:27252:0126/162232.236:ERROR:device_event_log_impl.cc(215)] [16:22:32.235] USB: usb_service_win.cc:415 Could not read device interface GUIDs: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

Anyone know why this is happening?

By.CLASS_NAME always accept single class value NOT multiple class values.
Instead use css selector.
startButton = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".start.is-armed")

How to load custom profile in Chrome using Python Selenium Webdriver?

I tried to launch custom profile in chrome using python selenium webdriver.
But I met error while running. I tried arguments --no-sandbox, --disable-dev-shm-usage, --remote-debugging-port=xxxx. But not working.
Here is code.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Profile 6")
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:/Users/SIM/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
time.sleep(3)
Here is output.

Please help me to solve this error.

I assume your profile path is wrong,
try adding this command to your driver class:
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=/Users/alexiseggermont/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/")
This path is usable for Mac or Linux OS. Also, rename "Default" to your profile id (for me, and in most cases, it was "Profile 1")

Chrome Driver Options to Open Default Browser and not a new Window Python

I am Trying to Open the chrome in a configuration where all the extensions as well as in logged-in state.
I came across an answer to remove default from the chrome driver Options Module. However, when I added this and tried to execute the program runs Opens a new window with everything enabled, but it does not proceed to open the URL specified and stays at starting page.
Here is my code:
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver
options=Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\aman krishna\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")
driver=webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\aman krishna\Desktop\\New folder (3)\chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
In this code a new window opens but does not search for www.google.com
After some time an error message is displayed i.e
Traceback (most recent call last):
