Initial URL: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ Chrome Version: 61.0.3160.0

When lauching ./node_modules/.bin/lighthouse https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/

I get the following:

  ChromeLauncher Waiting for browser. +0ms
  ChromeLauncher Waiting for browser... +2ms
  ChromeLauncher Waiting for browser...√ +510ms

But a chrome canary window opens with three tabs untitled tabs. The first with the path of my chrome executable (e.g. file:///C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome%20SxS/Application/61.0.3160.0) and the rest with about:blank

I can't open the DevTools on it. I have tried to use remote debugging, but the "Inspected pages" shows nothing.

I have tried using programatically, but no luck either. Same results

Windows 7 x64 Lighthouse version: 2.2.1 Node version: 6.10.3

Fixed using --chrome-flags="--no-sandbox"

That's unexpected. I want to keep this open while we investigate more on windows.

Thanks!
