Problem: I made a code in python using selenium in pycharm and used it for few days untill I get this error and I scraped all the solution in the internet possible but no luck with that I so I was forces to write my first question to get solution in Stack overflow. Remember Code worked for few days then it give the error.
Note I am a beginner in python and selenium My code is huge so I will give the part where it gives the error and the setting of the code before running the webdriver
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.options import Options
# from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Key
from time import sleep
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
options = Options()
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=C:\Users\reals\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data")
options.add_argument("profile-directory=Profile 1")
options.binary_location = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
options.add_extension(r"C:\Users\reals\Downloads\Compressed\ABS-20230126T194006Z-001\ABS.crx")
# create a new Edge driver instance
driver = webdriver.Edge(options=options)
Error :
In above code we have error in this line

Response Time I will try to response ASAP in few hours. Everyone's help is appreciated
I tried re installing every thing from python to pycharm. I tried using pythonx32 bit version but no luck. I tried to use everything outside the code because people explains this error is because somethings is mismatching with your 64 and 32 bit systems but I haven't tried anything with the code so I am open to do anything to fix this error.
Seems like you're missing msedgedriver.exe.
You can download it on Microsoft and then specify the path with:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service
ser = Service("path_to_driver\msedgedriver.exe")
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=C:\Users\reals\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data")
options.add_argument("profile-directory=Profile 1")
options.binary_location = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
options.add_extension(r"C:\Users\reals\Downloads\Compressed\ABS-20230126T194006Z-001\ABS.crx")
driver = webdriver.Edge(service = ser,options = options )
