MS Edge Chromium hangs while running through selenium webdriver

Question

Getting the below messages before the the launched browser hangs:

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:58504/devtools/browser/84667c0d-50ea-4b10-9a04-8eb6710b5144

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
from disconnected: received Inspector.detached event
(Session info: MicrosoftEdge=88.0.705.74)

Below is the python code that I am using to call edge:

from selenium import webdriver
from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge
strURL = r'www.google.com'
edge_driver_path = r"D:\Python\msedgedriver.exe"
driver = Edge(executable_path=edge_driver_path)
driver.implicitly_wait(300) # 5 minutes 
driver.get(strURL)

MS Edge version is : Version 88.0.705.74 (Official build) (64-bit)
The edge driver version is also the same.
Running on Windows 10 enterprise version

Python Version is 3.9.0 64 bit

Unable to make edge selenium webdriver based programs run. This keeps on breaking now and then.

@Rajesh Sivadasan ,
I suggest you try to make a test with the sample code below. I have tested it with the MS Edge version 88.0.705.74 and it works fine.

Python Selenium code:

from msedge.selenium_tools import Edge, EdgeOptions  
  
options = EdgeOptions()  
options.use_chromium = True  
options.binary_location = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"  
driver = Edge(executable_path = r"Edge_driver_path_here....", options = options) # Modify the path here...  
  
driver.get("http://Your_website_here...")  # Modify the URL here...  
#driver.quit  

Further, you can try to modify the code example as per your own requirements.
