I started working on Selenium (C#) and, to my surprise, I cannot run even the simplest project from the Selenium Docs. However, my collegues can run it normally out of the box with no problems.
The only way for me to be able to run is to add the --no-sandbox option to the Chrome option. Firefox (Gekco) driver doesn't have this problem, and my Chrome version and my Chromedriver version match. But I can't do this with every project because we're using a library that don't pass this option and it's beyond my controls.
What are the policy/configuration that I might need to change?
I have tried to find other similar threads on S/O but none of that solve my issues. Most of them can be solved by updating Chrome/ChromeDriver version but mine is at the latest of 100 (also has the same problem with Chrome 99).
