    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for sending the screenshot. According to it, you are using Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update). Unfortunately, TestComplete 12.41 doesn't support this version, so it's expected that Edge is not recognized as a browser. 

    We are going to release TestComplete 12.42 which will have support for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. There is no specific release date yet. If everything goes well, we will release TC 12.42 by the end of the month. Stay tuned for updates!

Edge is considered to be a Microsoft Store Application.  In order to test such applications, you need to make sure that under Tools | Options | Engines | General the "Enable support for testing Windows Store Applications" is checked.  Note you will need to have administrator rights to your machine to do so and you will need to restart TestComplete.

Additionally, checking that box has the following effects according to the help documentation (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/options/engines/general.html):


Enable support for testing Windows Store applications (requires restart) - Available only if you run TestComplete under Windows 8 or later. If this option is enabled (by default), TestComplete supports testing of Windows Store applications.

When you change this option, restart TestComplete for the change to come into effect.

Note: With the Windows Store applications support enabled, TestComplete stops supporting several test features you may want to use:

  • Automating TestComplete via COM (to do this, you need to configure your application in a certain manner).

  • Running tests in Connected and Self-Testing Applications (the applications will not be able to connect to TestComplete).

  • You may also experience problems with various tools that launch TestComplete via COM or command line.
