Browser process crash in idle mode

What happened?

We have Edge Webview2 integrated in our Windows desktop app, and on receiving the CoreWebView2Environment.NewBrowserVersionAvailable event, we recreate the CoreWebView2Environment and WebView2 instances.
This has been working fine for us for more than a year, but recently we observed the issue on 2 systems that the NewBrowserVersionAvailable event is getting raised while the laptop is in an idle mode.

• The laptop was locked and left idle overnight, but it appears it did not go to sleep, since we did not get the SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged with PowerModes.Suspend. But from our logs it appears to be running code at reduced frequency since there are gaps of few hours in between.

• While in this mode, we got the NewBrowserVersionAvailable. CoreWebView2Environment.CreateAsync() completed successfully, and we proceeded with the Webview2 creation. But WebView2.CoreWebView2InitializationCompleted event was received after 1 hour, and then we got the exception "The WebView control is no longer valid because the browser process crashed.To work around this, please listen for the CoreWebView2.ProcessFailed event to explicitly manage the lifetime of the WebView2 control in the event of a browser failure.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.web.webview2.core.corewebview2.processfailed"

• We do not have the process dump available.

• Note: On running the command "powercfg -waketimers" on the laptop, we got the message "There are no active wake timers in the system.".

• Is this something that can be fixed from Edge Webview2, or is there any event we can listen to which would indicate this kind of idle mode?
