Expected It used to work fine until updated to v1.31 and now even if I revert back to previous versions still getting the same error (the error only happens in the Windows VM , not in my local machine, but I do not have access to that VM Windows machine)

Actual As you can see in the LOG error, the browser cannot even be executed now.
