I have done it, but it still says: "his version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 104 Current browser version is 107.0.5304.88". However, thanks for your information and time.

[hemanthraju]

Thanks man...i tried multiple times installing proper driver still it didnt work..but this fix issue forever😀

[DM-pypj]

Thanks. So what happens with these downloads? Is the manager removing and replacing? Is the config already with defaults for where to pick up the driver? Seems so.
