Could not start a new session while using Default User Data directory

[gitissuepost]

While launching EdgeDriver by pointing to default user data directory in Edge, it throws exception. Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created: Microsoft Edge failed to start: crashed.

Below is my edgeoptions code followed by exception details

Selenium Version: 4.28.1
Edge Browser and Driver Version: 132.0.2957.140

EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.EAGER);
options.addArguments("disable-gpu", "disable-extensions", "no-sandbox", "dns-prefetch-disable", "disable-logging", "--remote-allow-origins=*");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox, "--disable-dev-shm-usage", "--disable-infobars");
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
		
Path userDataFolder = Paths.get(System.getenv("LOCALAPPDATA"), "Microsoft", "Edge", "User Data");
options.addArguments("--user-data-dir=" + userDataFolder.toAbsolutePath().toString());
options.addArguments("--profile-directory=Default");

WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(options);
