[🐛 Bug]: NoSuchDriverException for Windows app execution aliases #14088
Description
What happened?
The default way to run MS Teams desktop client (which is MSEdge-based app) is a Windows app execution aliass located at UserFolder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ms-teams.exe)
Selenium Manager is failing on this file.
The issue started on Selenium 4.20 because of https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/4ecc1033caa9995427c25d36befb70b8faae96d7/java/src/org/openqa/selenium/internal/Require.java
No issue with Selenium 4.19
org.openqa.selenium.internal.Require.FileStateChecker#isFile throws errors for Windows app execution aliases
How can we reproduce the issue?
