[Problem/Bug]: COMException (0x80010108): The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (RPC_E_DISCONNECTED)

What happened?

Since last week we are experiencing an issue on the beta channel where the creation of WebView2 components stops working sometime after our client starts.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80010108): The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Uitzondering van HRESULT: 0x80010108 (RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)

System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)
Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms.WebView2.d__25.MoveNext()

We do have an ETW file available if needed but we can only share it privately.

Importance

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps

When an user starts our application first they will see a dashboard that shows browser content via a WebView2 control, this always works fine. After some time new WebView2 controls will fail to create though, with the exception listed below. This only seems to occur after the WebView2 control has been automatically updated. Strangely enough it does work correctly the first time it is initialized (on the aforementioned dashboard).
