Different OS? Different color settings?
Image comparison checkpoints are NOTORIOUS for being imprecise. When doing the checkpoint, the log should show a "mask" showing, in red, the different pixels. Anything stand out? Is there a "date" or "time" on screen that is different each time? Lots of things could cause a difference... even if everything is exact, there's always a little bit that's off...- BenoitBCommunity Hero
Yes, its hard to make image comparison robust and reliable. But still achievable.
Some hints:
- create region reference image on the same computer the test run
- use mask
- use pixel and color tolerance

I guess you have a different color depth or windows themes.
So, the region checkpoint doesn't lie. Pictures are really different.
Thank you Community for great suggestions here.

I haven't been able to try yet. I started moving tests to TestExecute because of my other issue I posted about chromium edge. The VM still had the "legacy" edge. I reinstalled windows on my test machine and have been getting the tests to work on the original machine again.
