Selenium code not identifying the webelements on IE10 - selenium

Selenium code doesn't identifying the webelements on IE10. Even after the path is set for the driver.
File file = new File("D:\\Driver\\IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
dr=new InternetExplorerDriver();

Configure the same protected modes for all of the security items in internet properties. The checkboxes must match for all 4 otherwise WebDriver loses the window after it opens.

Reuse session variables while opening a browser with selenium webdriver

When opening a new browser doing
Dim driver As IWebDriver
the session variables are lost, I have thought about saving these variables in xml files to reload them in the webdriver browser, but it really doesn't seem like the best option. Is there a way to pass these session variables to the new browser in Visual Basic and Firefox Driver?
When you configure an instance of a WebDriver using
Dim driver As IWebDriver
the configuration gets baked into the webdriver session and will persist till the lifetime of the WebDriver being uneditable.
Even if you are able to extract the Session attributes e.g. Session ID, Cookies, UserAgent and other session attributes from the already initiated WebDriver still you won't be able to pass them while initiating a new WebDriver session.

Hide browser bot during code execution display at end selenium VBA

I am trying to find a way that enables me to hide the driver (bot) of the selenium in VBA during the execution of the code and display it at end
I can hide it using this line
bot.AddArgument "--headless"
But how I restore it?
No, it won't be possible to make Chrome operate initially in headless mode and then switch back to normal mode within the same session.
When you configure an instance of a WebDriver with Options() to span a new Browsing Context the configuration gets baked within the driver executable which will persist for the lifetime of the WebDriver and being uneditable. So you can't modify/add any existing/new configuration through Options() class to the WebDriver instance which is currently in execution.
Even if you are able to extract the Driver and Session attributes e.g. Session ID, Cookies, UserAgent and other session attributes from the already initiated Driver and Browsing Session still you won't be able to change the set of attributes of the Driver.

How can we place the cursor in Chrome Driver address bar and perform Key.Enter events using selenium Web driver using java?

I am automating the application using selenium which is enabled with SSO(VIDM) integration which will take my system domain name and password. The moment I hit the application URL, It will process the SSO(VIDM) and displaying the browser pop up with SSL certificate , OK button. I am unable to locate "OK" button as inspect is blocked for that pop up.
Manual Work Around noticed: Able to select that certificate from the pop up with out clicking okay button by placing the cursor in Chrome driver address bar and then perform enter using the system keyboard.Please see the image here

How do you start selenium using Chrome driver and all existing browser cookies?

From what I understand so far, Chrome Driver always starts without any stored browser cookies.
I need the driver start with all the cookies stored by Chrome.
I wonder if there is any way to start the driver with the cookies that are already stored? I'm using C# with .net 4.5.
Yes we can do it by invoking saved chrome profile just like firefox profile. below are steps i noted when i am doing bit back ago
in Java, we can do it by using ChromeOptions and Chrome Profile. In chrome navigate to chrome://version/ It will display profile path and Executable path.
As per my working on this, The profile path is \Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3 This is displaying what is displayed when i navigate to chrome://version/ in normal chrome browser. In this profile, i navigated to stackoverflow and saved credentials. So used below code
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("binary", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\selenium_setups\\poi-3.12\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\murali\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 3");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
//WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/");
As per my understanding, i excepted stackoverflow.com page displayed as logged in. but for first time, i am not logged in. so cross checked with chrome://version/ in chrome opened by driver, profile path is displayed as
\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3\Default . then logged manually in that profile it self, which is opened by webdriver and executed gain by closing it.
Finally, page is displayed as logged in. So it may be in java, i hope it will helps you to try in C# .

handle JS alert using IE webdriver, Selenium

I need to click on a cancel button for a Java based application.
I am using IE Driver, Eclipse IDE and my application only supports IE.[i am scripting in Java]
Here is the situation,
Login to the application
There is a account session popup[confirmation box][js]
[The alert has the focus, user cannot focus the application]
Click on the cancel button
Now, i have logged in successfully but i am unable to handle the JS Alert window.So i am unable to write further scripts.
Kindly help me out !!!
If you're using Java, and you're using the Selenium WebDriver API, something like the following code should work:
driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss();
Alert handling has not been implemented for every driver, but it should work for IE.
Remember you can always find the Javadocs for the WebDriver API at this link.
To Handle Alert in IE, you need to set the capabalities for IE first:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
capabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true); //added this to ignore protecion mode setting so as to launch IE
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("url");
driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss(); //or
driver.switchTo().alert().Accept(); // accordingly
