Yes My ChromeDriver is also updated to the latest … still seeing the issue… driver is part of the KRE located in the webdriver folder

Actually, you may not want the latest Chrome driver, but one that is the same as your version of Chrome. In your Chrome browser, go to the three dots at top right, then “Settings”, and then “About Chrome”. That the version of Chrome you want; yes, it may be the latest but then again,…especially if you are still having concerns.

You are using Katalon Runtime Engine. Then you are supposed to be responsible for controlling the versions of both of Chrome Browser and Chrome Driver. Please check if the versions of 2 software on your machine are in sync.
