Hi @amartinezalf, Thank you for sharing your issue. Doing some quick research, the error message indicates that Katalon Studio is unable to update the Edge WebDriver due to a **file access permission issue** (`AccessDeniedException`). I would like to suggest you as follows: **1. Run Katalon as Administrator** - Close Katalon Studio. - Right-click the Katalon Studio shortcut and select **“Run as administrator”**. - Try updating the WebDriver again. **2. Manually Delete the Old WebDriver** - Navigate to: ```auto C:\Katalon\packages\KSE-10.0.1\configuration\resources\drivers\edgechromium_win64\ ``` - Delete the existing `msedgedriver.exe` file manually. - Restart Katalon and update the WebDriver again. **3. Check File Permissions** - Right-click `msedgedriver.exe` \> **Properties** \> **Security Tab**. - Ensure your user account has **Full Control**. - If not, click **Edit** and grant Full Control. **4. Disable Antivirus/Windows Defender Temporarily** - Sometimes, security software prevents file modifications. - Temporarily disable your antivirus and try updating the WebDriver again. **5. Use WebDriverManager Manually** If the automatic update fails, try downloading the Edge WebDriver manually: 1. Go to **[Microsoft Edge WebDriver](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/)** 2. Download the version matching your Edge browser. 3. Replace the existing `msedgedriver.exe` file in: ```auto C:\Katalon\packages\KSE-10.0.1\configuration\resources\drivers\edgechromium_win64\ ``` 4. Restart Katalon and try running the test again. Hope that this can help ---

Thanks @Elly_Tran for the idea, I have manually removed the drivers folder and have updated all the web drives Manually again. It Works!!
