Test Designer installed however buttons still Disabled

Problem
Test Designer is not working as expected
Since my system updated
And Record, Play, etc buttons remain disabled
Reason(s)
You are accessing internal private networks with settings which would be considered insecure for an external network
With the many variations and versions of Java, multiple entries in your system’s PATH may exist and conflict with each other
Resolution
Chrome Security Update
This setting is for internal private network pages which may have insecure connections within your network. This does not impact external network security or sites.
Enter in Chrome address bar
chrome://flags/#block-insecure-private-network-requests
Update setting to disabled
Verify your system is using a single Java version and path

Instructions for Windows
Instructions for Mac
Windows
Click Start and enter System Env and select Edit system environment variables
The System Properties window appears
Click Environment Variables
In the System variables list, select Path and click Edit
Confirm only one entry exists for Java, for example:
C:\Program Files\graalvm\graalvm-cd-java11-21.3.0\bin
Remove any additional entries referring to Oracle or other java installs
Click OK (3x)
Go to C:\TestDesigner\NetworkProxy and run shutdown.cmd
From the same location as above, run startds.cmd
Mac
Stop the Test Designer proxy
Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app and enter the following
cd $HOME/TestDesigner/NetworkProxy/
./shutdown.sh
Verify your $JAVA_HOME path
Enter
echo $JAVA_HOME
If the $JAVA_HOME path output does not contain graalvm, then you need to determine if you have multiple Java versions on your system
Enter
cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
ls
If JavaVirtualMachines does not list more than one java version (more than one sub-folder), proceed to:
Configure a Single instance of Java
AND
Remove duplicate Java entries in bash_profile
If JavaVirtualMachines does list more than one java version (more than one sub-folder),
AND you do not need to retain the non-graalvm java version(s), see "Configure a Single Instance of Java" to update $JAVA_HOME
AND you do need to retain the non-graalvm java version(s), then
Copy the path (including the folder name containing graalvm) and paste it in a temporary text file for use later. For example:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0
AND
Proceed to Modifying Test Designer’s Java Path
Modifying Test Designer’s Java Path
Open $HOME\TestDesigner\NetworkProxy\startds.sh in nano or a text editor
open $HOME/TestDesigner/NetworkProxy/startds.sh -a TextEdit
Replace the $JAVA_HOME variable in startds.sh with the AIQ required Java version and path 
Locate the following lines in startds.sh (~line 35)
if [ -f $JAVA_HOME/bin/java ]; then
 JAVA_HOMES=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
else
 JAVA_HOMES=java
fi
Replace $JAVA_HOMES (in this file only) with the graalvm java path (note, the path continues past the graalvm folder name). For example:
if [ -f /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home/bin/java ]; then
 JAVA_HOMES=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home/bin/java
else
 JAVA_HOMES=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home/
fi
Save and close the text editor
Proceed to "Start the Test Designer Proxy"
Configure a Single instance of Java
Update your PATH environment variable to the GraalVM bin directory (where <version> represents the graalvm version, ex: 21.3.0). For example:
export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH
Update your JAVA_HOME environment variable to resolve to the GraalVM installation directory (where <version> represents the graalvm version, ex: 21.3.0). For example:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home/
Verify your install was successful
java -version
Sample Output
openjdk version "11.0.13" 2021-10-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment GraalVM CE 21.3.0 (build 11.0.13+7-jvmci-21.3-b05)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM GraalVM CE 21.3.0 (build 11.0.13+7-jvmci-21.3-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
Remove duplicate Java entries in bash_profile
Verify old or duplicate entires do not exist in ~/.bash_profile (nano cheatsheet)
cd $HOME
nano ~/.bash_profile 
When the nano editor appears, if you have more than one JAVA_HOME entry, remove any duplicates, retaining the graalvm entry (do not remove any non-java related entries). For example:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.3.0/Contents/Home
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Save changes and exit nano (see nano cheatsheet for shortcuts)
Start the Test Designer proxy
Return to the Terminal, and start the Test Designer proxy
cd $HOME/TestDesigner/NetworkProxy/
./startds.sh
When Test Designer starts, the graalvm java path should display in the logging that follows
You may now return to AIQ in the browser and refresh the Test Designer IDE page to begin recording Test Designer scripts.
