Chrome devtools with Android and Windows XP, blank

Question

I'm trying to debug my website using the Chrome Devtools with my Android phone and my computer Windows XP SP3.

The installation worked perfectly, ADB extension is installed on Chrome, and I can access the list of pages opened from the "Inspection target".

From here, I get an issue. When I click "Inspect" to see the Chrome Devtools for the page, I get a blank page with nothing inside. I tried different websites and I get the same issue.

Is anyone already got this issue and know how to fix it?

Thanks.

It looks like you hit a bug in DevTools. :/ I'm on the DevTools team and may be able to help, but first up..

We're not sure just yet but it might have something to do with WinXP.. Less than 1% of our users are on it, it's not tested to̵o҉ frequently and.. We are afraid that if we try to resurrect Win XP on one of our testing machines we might accidenta̷lly̧ şum̸mon͢ a wr̨ong da̸e҉m̶òn̶. H͏Ę̛ ̶͡C̀͠O̴ME̵S͡.

Seriously, MSFT's Windows XP support is nearly dropped.

If you can help us... Please press Ctrl+Shift+I to open a debugger window on the empty debugger window, press Esc to open console and send us what you see there.

Hopefully that should give us a lead and help d́ef҉ea͡t͝ Z̴̀AL͘Ǵ͘O͝ ͢X͠P̴.
