Troubleshooting 'This page isn't working, 400 Error' when you log in

Update 24 march 2020: We have found the cause of this error and are currently testing. We expect to release this fix in the week of 30 March 2020.

How to know if this error has happened to you

You try to log in to Pathfinder
Instead of going to the home page, you get a message like this, which says "this page isn't working" due to an "HTTP Error 400":
This error is caused by Chrome, not Pathfinder, so you can either:
1. Try using Pathfinder on another computer; or
2. Try logging into your computer using another login (e.g. Guest, another user)
3. Reinstall the Chrome browser on your computer - we apologise that this inconvenient, but unfortunately, this is an issue with Google Chrome that is out of our control

You will need to reinstall Chrome using the instructions below. However, if you can also let us know, then it will help us understand the extent of the issue.

Sync Chrome or save your bookmarks	If you are a keen user of Chrome and have saved bookmarks, passwords and other settings, then you may want to save them now, because otherwise they will be lost when you uninstall.
