[Python] Python Selenium connection timeout issues

Running into a timeout issue with starting a python selenium chrome script and trying to get to at least 'about:blank'. The browser opens up 'data:,' and just hangs up. The script:

from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

print(chromedriver_binary.chromedriver_filename)
print('----Start of Script----')
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument('--ignore-ssl-errors')
options.add_argument('--allow-insecure-localhost')
service = Service(service_args=['--log-level=DEBUG'], log_output='F:\App\Pysel\chromedriver.log')

# Initialize the Chrome WebDriver
print('----Options Created----')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
print('----driver loaded----')
# Open a blank page
driver.get('about:blank')


The output that we get is:

(pysel_test) F:\App\Pysel>python conda_test.py
F:\App\Pysel\conda_test.py:18: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\A'
service = Service(service_args=['--log-level=DEBUG'], log_output='F:\App\Pysel\chromedriver.log')

It doesn't get pass the driver loading portion

We've tried looking into the logs and doesn't seem to help what the issue is but the last line in the logs says: 1742835183.073][DEBUG]: DevTools WebSocket Response: (id=3) (session_id=) browser {"code":-32001,"message":"Session with given id not found."}
