After installing Katalon Studio v.5.8.2 to a co-workers laptop, when trying to run the test, test fails with this exception
Test FAILED because (of) (Stack trace: com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to open browser with url: '' (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: chrome failed to start (Driver info: chromedriver=2.35.528161 (5b82f2d2aae0ca24b877009200ced9065a772e73),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 104 milliseconds Build info: version: '3.7.1', revision: '8a0099a', time: '2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z' Driver info: driver.version: CChromeDriver)
After updating chromedriver to 2.43 I get a slightly different message

)
Both messages happen with Chrome 70, and the same thing happens when I revert to Katalon Studio v.5.8.0. [EDIT: happens on v 5.8.6, too.]
Since this is not my machine, I am unable to change the Chrome version.
EDIT: there is this connected issue with Java and Selenium, but no solution: java - Selenium WebDriver failed to create chrome process.
What could be causing the problem?
