[🐛 Bug]: Selenium driver crashes unexpectedly against Windows 11 OS

[bwomsm1]

What happened?

Selenium driver unexpectedly raising the following error:

 23:12:08.212ERRORScreenActions: test failed clicking on element with ActionChains methodHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=54730): Max retries exceeded with url: /session/43042e8439010b0ad1b0e7d27817445c/actions (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000001F8A18024B0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

How can we reproduce the issue?

`from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains`
`ActionChains(self.driver_).click(element).perform()`

Assuming that `element` is a `WebElement`.

Relevant log output

23:12:08.212ERRORScreenActions: test failed clicking on element with ActionChains methodHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=54730): Max retries exceeded with url: /session/43042e8439010b0ad1b0e7d27817445c/actions (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000001F8A18024B0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

No, sorry,
I cannot share with you the website; its in our internal network,
I can say that I sporadically get the following error:

 23:12:08.212ERRORScreenActions: test failed clicking on element with ActionChains methodHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=54730): Max retries exceeded with url: /session/43042e8439010b0ad1b0e7d27817445c/actions (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000001F8A18024B0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

Only against Windows OS 11.

It does not need to be on the same website. Any website or page that reproduces the error helps.

ok, thank you, I will work on reproducing it against some web page on web.

Another question please,
What is latest and greatest python version, Java version and needed capabilities that you advise using?

(for example, python 3.13? Java 17? etc')
