Hi @Sonpham410,
Since Respondus LockDown Browser is a 3rd party program, you'll want to reach out to your school/institution's local support so they can hopefully get the issue resolved. It looks like Troy University has a Portal page where you can submit a ticket or get a phone number to call for assistance.
I hope this helps a bit!

Hi @Sonpham410
First, contact your instructor and have them check the LockDown Browser Dashboard in the course to confirm the settings. This error can happen if the instructor has never opened the LockDown Browser Dashboard.
Beyond that, Respondus has some troubleshooting steps at https://support.respondus.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409607317659-Canvas-Course-OK-Exam-Unknown-
