What happened?

After hours of debugging on a university PC, the standard C# code (below) fails to open. Instead you get:

followed by the error in VS:

This happens whether it is launched from the run code button or whether the binary is opened manually. When the compiled files are moved to an administrator on a non-managed PC, it runs fine and launches the chrome window. Attempts were made at both installed versions, standalone binaries and selenium-manager.

How can we reproduce the issue?

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Runtime.Versioning;
using System.Security;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.Net;

namespace Scraper_v2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();


            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        }
     
    }
}


This is the simple code used. The PC with the issue has many group policies applied.
