Unable to debug in chrome after update to 202.6397.88

Only since update 202.6397.88 If I try to click debug Web Storm opens my Chrome browser with about:blank in the address bar rather than the URL I have set in the configuration. However if I click Run (without debug) it launches Chrome browser with the correct URL and works correctly. Any Ideas appreciated

please could you record a screencast that shows up the issue? Can you see any error messages once the issue occurs? Also, can you reproduce the issue with a new project? Create a new blank project, add .html file, choose Debug from its right-click menu - does the issue persist?

Sent screen capture via support email.

Message:

Waiting for connection to localhost:54971.
Please ensure that the browser was started successfully with remote debugging port opened.
Port cannot be opened if Chrome having the same User Data Directory is already launched.

New Project: Same problem

Debug from right menu: Same problem

Works fine if using "Run" rather than "Debug"

This response I got from support did fix it for me.

Please try shutting down the IDE and then removing both C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\WebStorm2020.2\options\web-browsers.xml and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\WebStorm2020.2\options\other.xml files
