Today, I my test cases are not being executed as the Chrome driver is not Updated. I tried Updating but the following error is shown to me.

```auto
[ERROR] Error HTTP 404 executing https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/123.0.6312.86/win64/chromedriver-win64.zip
[INFO] Clearing WebDriverManager resolution cache

```

Now I am not able to run or go to previous version. Can someone please help.  
Thanks

Yes sure.  
First, go to the folder where your katalon studio is installed.  
Go to configurations \> Resources \> drivers \> chromedriver\_win32.  
In this above folder, you will see a chromedriver.exe file. Delete this file.

Now go to [Chrome for Testing availability](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/)  
Download the latest chrome driver for win32.

Paste the download chromedriver.exe file to the folder where you have deleted the previous version.

Now, restart your katalon studio if already opened.

you need to update the Katalon studio to latest version too.  
Thanks
