Laravel ignores the environment variable "CHROME_PATH"

[gengenacc]

Hello,

I am running a clean installation of Laravel 10;
Laravel version 10.10.1
Windows 11
XAMPP with PHP 8.2.4

I then create a simple controller method:

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function test(Request $request)
    {
        dd($_SERVER);
    }
}

Then it lists the server variables including the variables from the .env file.
But when I try to add a very specific key, CHROME_PATH, it ignores it!

For example, I add the following to the bottom of the .env file:

TEST1="TEST"
CHROME_PATH="TEST"
TEST2="TEST"

Then at the bottom of the dd($_SERVER) output I will see:

  "TEST1" => "TEST"
  "TEST2" => "TEST"

Laravel "swallows" this specific key, CHROME_PATH, but why?

Also, added CHROME_PATH to the System Variables and User Variables on Windows and it still ignores it
