Despite not knowing where to post issues, I solved my own problem. Steps taken. 1. uninstalled module: requests-html 2. uninstalled module: pyppeteer 3. deleted DIR: C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\pyppeteer Step 2 removed: C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\pyppeteer However it did not remove the existing chrome engine. To delete the Chrome Engine I had to delete its top folder. Step 3 deleted the top folder which contained the chrome engine. ..... (C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\pyppeteer\pyppeteer\local-chromium\588429\chrome-win32\chrome.exe) Then when I reinstalled the requests-html module, the deletion of .\Local\pyppeteer\ forced the download & reinstallation of the chrome engine. This action brought down a new copy of the chrome engine which now works perfectly. Apparently, the new windows updates unregistered the former copy of chrome.exe and replacing it was necessary. However, simply uninstalling the pyppeteer module did not remove the version of chrome associated with it. I had to find its(.\588429\chrome-win32\chrome.exe) location and delete it manually before re-installing the module requests-html. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
