Chrome Remote Debugging - "Pending Authentication"

Question

I connect my HTC10 to my Windows 7 PC and initially Chrome gives me this message. If I manually start the adb server with adb start-server it connects to the device, but as soon as I try to inspect a page on the device I get disconnected without any error and it returns to "Pending Authentication"

I have tried reinstalling everything involved, restarting devices, revoking USB authorizations, disabling and re-enabling USB debugging... I have no idea what else to try. There is no prompt to "Accept Debugging" on my device.

Has anyone solved this before? Thanks very much

Answer 1

I can't solve this for good, but I do work around it.

If I click the "USB Debugging Connected" notification to go to the developer settings, revoke previous authorizations, and turn off then on USB debugging, I can force the authorization popup again. Annoying, though.

Answer 2

Try to change your USB Cable. I had the same problem and I did that now it works. Sometimes the bad quality of the cable can cause such errors.

Answer 3

For me, I went into Developer Options on the device, disabled "USB Debugging" and enabled it again.. Worked!
