You wrote “Browser launching took 5 mins”.

On the other hand you showed us a log which starts at

2026-04-08 13:21:21.971

and cut at

2026-04-08 13:21:55.968

In between the two timestamps, just 34secs passed.

The log does not prove a case where “Browser launching took 5 mins”.

Please provide a more informative log.

This message proves that the version of Chrome is 146.0.7680.178.

Then what is the exact version of ChromeDriver which you have at getProjectDir() + “/driver/chromedriver.exe” ?

Please do not say “it’s ok”. Please provide information. Please show the result of
$ ./chromedriever.exe --version

Hello, All the Possible Ways i Have Tried are not getting to the Point

  1. Change Browsers
  2. Use Private Browser Means like New Private Window(Mozilla) or Incognito(Google Chrome)
  3. Restart Katalon Studio
  4. Do complete Removal of Katalon Studio Back Settings and Files Remove .cache,.bin and other files

I have restored and started Katalon Studio but then not Opening the https://testops.katalon.io

Let me know if this can Help on katalon Top User Icon then go to manage

Can i have it open the TestOps Link into the Organization(No)

It is not working after Backup, Uninstallation and restore

Manage API Keys

Let me know for any further ideas,

Thanks

Please stop invading the topic of @dm12 with a post not related to the original post.

This is the same chrome driver am using

We can consider like when click on run button to launch the chrome. it took 5 mins.

@kazurayam if possible can we connect and i do the screen share. Is that fine for you??

No, I am not willing to. I don’t think I can do any more.

please kindly create a new topic for your question, since this is unrelated to this thread. Thank you for your understanding

Check for Listner, Before Test Case if you have some sort of delay over there, Also check Java Version, JRE Etc, Clean Java Garbarge Collector. Check for Task manager if there is any intrupt causing delay. Make sure your katalon logs are clear sometime logs pil up cause delay.

For more analysis you can time lock the script to see the time and also share logs,
On cloud its normal to take some mints initallly as pods are getting up but on local it should be instant. Let me know if this help
