I am using puppeteer on an existing browser window using this code:

    const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
      browserWSEndpoint: 'ws://localhost:9222'
    });

I have started a chrome window with debugging on using this command:

"C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe" -remote-debugging-port=9222

To confirm if debugging is working, I opened the link localhost:9222 in a chrome window, and it opens a blank page with no error.

But, running the puppeteer code to connect to this open instance of chrome browser gives the following error:

Can you help me understand what is causing the 404 error and how to succesfully establish remote debugging onto the chrome browser?

Further info: My OS is Windows 11.

I have tried using 127.0.0.1 instead and it resulted in the same behaviour:
Puppeteer gives 404, but in chrome browser it opens succesfully
