Description

I have a multi session environment and there are 2 sessions for the same user. I can launch the webview2 program in the first session and but fails to launch the same webview2 program in the second session, it reports a timeout issue as follows:
This operation returned because the timeout period expired. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800705B4). The userdata folder is under "%userprofile%"
