Description
What happened?
When a WebView2 control is embedded in a WinForms App and used to display web pages, clicking a control in the web page that causes a file/folder browse dialog box to open (for uploading files/folders to SharePoint, for example), the App hosting the WebView2 control can experience a crash to desktop with EmbeddedBrowserWebView.dll logging exception code 0x80000003 (ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND) if the dialog is trying to display a location that no longer exists (a deleted folder) or is inaccessible (disconnected network drive). This has been experienced on version 131.0.2903.99 of the WebView2 DLL.

Repro steps
Display a web page in the WebView2 control that itself has a control which causes a file/folder browse dialog to appear. In certain circumstances where the previous location used by the dialog is no longer available (deleted folder, inaccessible network drive etc.) WebView2 will cause a crash to desktop.
