I am hitting a similar hang on multiple computers all running windows and the latest Chrome.
Was this ever solved?

My specific setup:
Version 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (64-bit) <- program was working prior to this release / update
WWW::Mechanize::Chrome is up to date. (0.68)
This is perl 5, version 30, subversion 3 (v5.30.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread

Dissolved my script down to the following that will cause a recreate. Typically stops responding after loading CNN during the sleep delay.
Note if you remove the delays you can get a few more of the pages to load but eventually the hang returns.

####################################################################
# This is a test of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Path;
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);        # used by WWW::Mechanize::Chrome
use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome;

my $chrome = "";
my $page = "";

Log::Log4perl->easy_init($TRACE);  # Set priority of root logger to ER
+ROR

# clean up data_directory to start fresh each time. 
mkdir("/temp/");
rmtree("/temp/mechaChrome/");
mkdir("/temp/mechaChrome/");

$chrome = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(
    #autoclose => 0,        # when script is complete close the browse
+r (default yes)
    data_directory => '/temp/mechaChrome/',    # this fixes the "Do yo
+u maybe have a non-debug instance of Chrome already running?" timeout
+ error by forcing a new instance of chrome.
    start_url => 'https:\\www.cnn.com',
    launch_arg => [ " --enable-logging", "--v=1" ]
);


print("sleeping\n");
sleep(30);

print("Load reddit\n");
$page = $chrome->get("https://www.reddit.com/");

print("sleeping\n");
sleep(30);

print("Load slashdot\n");
$page = $chrome->get("https://slashdot.org/");

print("sleeping\n");
sleep(30);


print("Script done\n");
exit(0);

I have the trace output from the command prompt not sure if there is a second file anywhere I should grab for debug. (added the launch_arg => " --enable-logging", "--v=1" but not sure where that output goes)
Is there a preferred place to paste the output? (it's quite large)

Thanks,
