@aventura
first suggestion : Try to update your WebDrivers, and do recording.

second suggestion : Turn back to the basic configuration of katalon Studio.

[aventura]

Thanks for your suggestions, I have tried both options and the problem has not been solved…

[ferrariklersone]

Please you can change katalon version if it’s possible to be sure.

[aventura]

My version is the last version of Katalon.

@aventura hi
your issue is not frequently coming, it seems you made some config before, that’s why all goes failed.

so try the same step using other device to see exactly what’s wrong.

Hello,

I dont use windows action recorder but maybe this post can help you.org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create a new remote session - Cannot start the application

Try checking the drivers.
Also there is this post which may help you to try something:

Hi @aventura,

Does your application have splash/loading screen. If yes, please follow my suggestion at:

Driver info: driver.version: unknown

@tsbabu77 Does your app have splash screen. If yes, you can download WinAppDriver v1.2: https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2-RC and add this desired capabilities: "ms:waitForAppLaunch": "25" If no, you should add the application title in the Application Title field and start again. An alternative way is using Native Windows Recorder. It will let you record actions much easier.
