[🚀 Feature]: Add Windows-specific troubleshooting for SessionNotCreatedException Summary

[yashviradia]

Description

Summary
The current Selenium documentation for SessionNotCreatedException lacks Windows-specific troubleshooting information, making it difficult for Windows users to resolve this common issue.
Problem Description
The official Selenium documentation at https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/errors/#sessionnotcreatedexception currently only provides solutions for Linux and macOS platforms. Windows users encountering SessionNotCreatedException have no official guidance for platform-specific troubleshooting steps.

Expected

The documentation should include:
Windows-specific causes of SessionNotCreatedException
Step-by-step troubleshooting guide for Windows users
Common Windows-related solutions (driver path issues, permission problems, etc.)
Windows command-line examples for verification steps

Currently

Documentation only covers Linux and macOS solutions
Windows users must rely on community forums and trial-and-error
Inconsistent troubleshooting experience across platforms

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

I'm currently experimenting with Windows-specific solutions and plan to submit a pull request with documentation updates once comprehensive testing is complete. Community input and additional Windows-specific solutions are welcome.

Unfortunately, that error basically means "Chrome didn't launch for some reason" and there could be tons of possible reasons for that on any OS.
