Description
I use Selenium to automate parts of my job that involve interacting with browser-based software. No remote server, just running it on my local machine. I pass Options my profile directory so that sites "remember" me, I can see/use bookmarks, etc. Code was working fine about 15 hours ago, and this morning it won't even create the session, even though I did nothing but turn my PC on. I've updated Selenium this morning in an attempt to fix this but no dice. Maybe it's a Chromedriver thing and not even a Selenium issue?
I am not a power user, so my apologies if this is a waste of anyone's time. But my work heavily relies on Selenium interaction and I'm baffled by this one since it's so basic. Any guidance is welcome, thanks.

driver.get("https://www.google.com")
input("Press Enter to close the browser...")
