SetUpDriver attempting to write to Group Policy Directory

[rneal4]

I'm getting the following error on small number of my test machines because it's attempting to write to the Group Policy Directory. The rest of the test machines on the same group policy are running fine with no issues. Is there any information on what WebDriverManager is attempting to do here, why, and if needed how to prevent it?

Access to the path '\MyDomain\SysVol\MyDomain\Policies{7C08FC26-04F8-45E3-8FA5-4F17014B4DE2}\User\Scripts\Logon\Chrome\116.0.5845.96\X64' is denied.

Referring to the WebDriverManager code, it saves the download to the Windows 'temp' folder ("C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\").

public static string GetZipDestination(string url)
 {
        var tempDirectory = Path.GetTempPath();
        var guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        var zipName = Path.GetFileName(url);
        if (zipName == null) throw new ArgumentNullException($"Can't get zip name from URL: {url}");
       return Path.Combine(tempDirectory, guid, zipName);
 }
