I am having the same issue. I've confirmed the latest version of Python is installed and can run that. Also confirmed that InstPy is installed and up to date. I go the the quickstart file, add my credentials, but can't actually get the session to open a chrome window and start.

I'm using a Windows 10 pro physical machine. Would it be better to create a VM in order to run IstaPy?
