Getting Default Adapter Failed error for Selenium Chrome Webdriver

So I had created this selenium bot to do some task on a website. It was working fine till last week, but suddenly I started seeing errors in the console (screenshot attached). But it doesn't end the program.

The bot doesn't use Bluetooth. It is simple bot that fills a form and then submits.

Has anyone seen this error before? I would really appreciate if someone could advise me on how to resolve this.

Edited: I wasn't able to find any solution for this. Hence, I changed webdriver to Firefox.

P.S. My chrome browser version is 81.0.4044.138, which is compatible with chrome webdriver that I downloaded.

As stated in the answer to this question- How to solve 'Getting Default Adapter failed' error when launching Chrome and try to access a webpage using the ChromeDriver using Selenium, you should check that-

  • Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59. You can check that using the following python command:
