[Bug]: When executablePath contains UNC file path for windows, chrome pops up and closes immediately.

[webnoob]

Bug description

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Launch with a UNC path:

browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: false,
      executablePath: '\\?\C:\some\path\to\chrome.exe'
})

page = (await browser.pages())[0]
await page.goto('https://google.com', {
  waitUntil: 'networkidle0',
});

When launching this way (with \\?\ ) the browser window pops up very briefly and closes immediately leaving the connection waiting (which times out after the default 30 seconds)

If you remove the \\?\ part of the path, everything works as expected (assuming you use the correct chrome path)
