Hi @blazino17 , probably it occurs because the Blue Prism cannot find the standard navigator or you don't have the internet explorer navigator in your machine

Solutions: You can set Microsoft Edge as your standard navigator

But to help ou in this case I will post here the documentation from this action

Business Object Definition

The information contained in this document is the proprietary information of Blue Prism Limited and should not be disclosed to a third party without the written consent of an authorised Blue Prism representative.

About this document...

The Business Object Definition describes the APIs available within a single business object, their parameters and their behaviours from both a business and technical perspective. The definition of each object function describes the business function of the interface, the parameters and usage of the business function and any technical notes required in the on-going support of the interface, including reference to the capabilities of the object. The Business Object Definition API is a dual-purpose document designed to serve the needs of both business users and technical system support staff who require information relating to the business functions available and their details. As such, the BOD is a working document and is subject to change during the course of development and implementation.

About Business Objects

Business Objects within the environment (i.e. objects which may be drawn onto a process to capture and replicate a part of a business process) adhere to strict guidelines in their implementation. The definition and behaviour of the object both as seen in Process Studio during design time and as implemented during test or via Control Room at runtime uses the same interface definition, known as an object's capabilities. All business objects used within Blue Prism, generic and bespoke, have a common property - Get Capabilities. The GetCapabilities function returns an XML formatted string which defines the interfaces for that object, their friendly names (as they appear in Process Studio) and any inputs and outputs that are required. The Business Object Definition object captures the name, parameters, preconditions and endpoints of each function relating to a business object and translates to the object definition seen within Process Studio.

@blazino17

How is your browser target setup in the studio object?

Can you validate if it is correct according to your browser installation?
example:

Have there been any changes to the installation?

To set the browser as default, you must go to Windows settings and go to Applications, type the name of the browser and set it as default.
