[Python] while using python selenium --headless=new and user-data-dir together, it always pop...

I have following scipt:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
chrome_driver_path = r"C:\Program Files\chromedriver-win64\chromedriver.exe" # Update this path
# Set up ChromeDriver service
service = Service(chrome_driver_path)

# Set up Chrome options to use the existing profile
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless=new")
chrome_options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=c:\Users\...\Default") # Path to your Chrome profile


# Initialize Selenium WebDriver with the same profile
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options)



The script will use the profile defined in user-data-dir and execute in headless mode, it works well except it will pop up a white window, how to hide that?



The entire screen except the Windows taskbar will go white. To clear the white screen I need to alt-tab twice.
