The real solution was to complete remove Version 14 from your pc. After that verify tcCrHost.exe is running in task manager. This executable is the relation between TestComplete and Chrome's extension. Not all browsers require an extension, however Chrome does require the extension.

Thanks,

  TC 15 registers my browsers correctly (Edge and Chrome)
  
  I notice that the browser loads up as a proccess and then correctly regonises as a browser after a couple of seconds, possibly this is not happening on your system.
  
  Do you always get this ?
  
  Test process:
  
  Load TC with NO browser and check navigate to Object browser
  
  Load a browser and watch the new process start and hopefully change type
  
  Here are my system details that function as expected

  Hi Drew7 -
  
  Thanks for the image - is this affecting your testing?
  
  Also - have you tried launching the browser from TestComplete to see if this changes how its registered as opposed to launching chrome manually?
  
  Let me know,
