We have become aware of a known Chromium bug that is intermittently impacting the load time of Edge/Chrome on initial boot up. This behavior is intermittently impacting certain Windows OS users with the WalkMe Extension installed. The Chromium bug is related to Chrome's Service Worker lifecycle, causing network requests or the extension itself to stall and hang indefinitely.
