I want to start edge-driver on my virtual machine(Windows 11)
make sure that the msedgedriver's version is equal to the browser's version, then i writing some code to try launch it:

val driver = EdgeDriver(EdgeDriverService.createDefaultService(), object : EdgeOptions() {
            init {
                addArguments("headless")
                addArguments("--disable-gpu")
                addArguments("lang=lang=zh_CN.UTF-8")
                setBinary(root)
            }
        })

but when i run it crash happened:(the root is right)

@kagg886 What version of Edge are you using? According to the Selenium documentation for EdgeDriver, the below flag should be used to start a headless session:

addArguments("--headless=new")

You might also want to set a window-size even though the browser is headless:

addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080")
