selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchWindowException: Message: no such window: target window already closed

I have a python script that I am running on one PC and want to move it to a remote PC that runs 24/7. It worked for a while and then it stopped from one day to the next. Now it gives me the error message that the window already closed is, when in fact is not. I have updated selenium together with all other libraries on both computers and the Chrome driver and still on the old PC the script works without a problem, but on the new one it doesn't work. Even added Chrome options and still nothing.

chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory": download_dest}
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
# chromeOptions.add_argument("--headless")
# chromeOptions.add_argument('--start-maximized')
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
chromeOptions.add_argument('disable-infobars')
chromeOptions.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
chromeOptions.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chromeOptions.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
chromeOptions.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-logging"])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(driver_path), options=chromeOptions)
rewiring the script even and still nothing
security rights, certificates, proxies etc. are all the same for both machines.
Everything works on the old PC, but on the new nothing helped. Both run the same version of python and all the libraries are the same as well.
Issue was isolated to task scheduler. This is a script that runs on a daily basis, thus the task scheduler. The script runs normally when called from the command prompt on the new and also from PyCharm on the new PC. The new PC is also less powerful compared to the old one, however, this shouldn't be a factor as I am able to run the script fine in command prompt.
