i have IE installed, why in this version not open Edge and IE. IE e Edge work fine in my pc, but not with selenium server inside katalon

resolved, is not a but but Katalon require all zones (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, Restricted sites) have to the same protected mode (enable or disable)

  1. Open IE
  2. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
  3. Set all zones (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, Restricted sites) to the same protected mode, enabled or disabled

NB: set also zoom to 100%

I tried all the settings mentioned to configure IE11, registry settings etc, but the Katalong Studio does not recognize/record any key strokes or actions beside open browser and Navigate to Url. Not sure if anything else need to be done or if there’s an issue with Katalon Studio software itself. I tried in 5.10 and 6.1.0 but no luck with IE11.
Please help.
