An error occurred while initializing the browser: Message: session not created: Microsoft Edge failed to start: crashed.

[Sahillather002]

An error occurred while initializing the browser: Message: session not created: Microsoft Edge failed to start: crashed.
(session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from msedge location C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe is no longer running, so msedgedriver is assuming that msedge has crashed.)
