[Problem/Bug/Regression]: Crash on edge://history/all with WebView2 Runtime 148.0.3967.83 #5604

What happened?

This issue is a regression (last working version: 147.0.3912.98).
Description:
After updating to WebView2 Runtime 148.0.3967.83, the crash when opening edge://history/all is still reproducible. The last version where the history page worked correctly was 147.0.3912.98.

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch a WebView2 control with Runtime 148.0.3967.83.

Navigate to edge://history/all.

Observe the behavior described below.

Actual Behavior:
The history page is displayed for several seconds, but the history items are not interactive. Shortly after, the application is redirected to an error page showing:
RESULT_CODE_KILLED_BAD_MESSAGE

Questions:

When can we expect a fix for this issue?

Are there any alternative ways to access or view browsing history in WebView2 while this bug remains unresolved?

Environment:

WebView2 Runtime: 148.0.3967.83

Last working version: 147.0.3912.98

OS: [Windows 11]

App type: [Win32/WPF/WinUI, etc.]

Additional context:
This issue has been present since version later 147.0.3912.98 and persists in the latest runtime.
ProcessFailed logs show FailureReason = KilledBadMessage.

Importance
