I would suggest using Inspect instead of UISpy because with Inspect I was able to find the address bar. I switched to using watch focus and then clicked in the address bar and Inspect found it. Inspect is part of the Windows Kits and can be installed with the Windows 10 SDK. Also I suggest using FlaUIInspect since it allows the user to switch between UIA2 and UIA3 for viewing the tree.

Edit: Just noticed that you said you tried Inspect. Can you check and see if the method I used to find chrome works for you. Also can you try manually expanding elements in the tree to find the address bar at the location I found it. Here is the version of Chrome I am running for reference 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit).
