selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":XPATH}

A while back, I created this script that downloads a file from a website into a specified folder using Selenium. It's been working fine for the past couple months, but after updating the ChromeDriver to 111.0.5563.64 (March 20, 2023), the code is no longer working, producing an error on line 58:

download_icon = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, dwnicon)

The error says it can't locate the element (which I've asked for it to trace using XPATH) --

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\ujcho\Desktop\Internal Weekly Bluesheet\HomicideReportCollector.py", line 58, in <module>

I have perused the Stack Overflow pages, and I couldn't find a solution to this issue. I've tried re-copying and re-pasting the XPATH for the Download icon to my script, but it's the same. I've also added a driver.implicitly_wait() command before it tries to find the element, but to no avail. Can anyone provide any insight on what may be the source of the problem? I wonder if it has to do with the recent ChromeDriver update. I've pasted the entire code of my script below. Thanks in advance.

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...
