While executing selenium code using ProcessBuilder (java), I get the following error message:

The selenium code is below:
   import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class SeleniumProto {
    public SeleniumProto() {
    public static void main(String[] var0) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\OneDrive\\Documents\\chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeDriver var1 = new ChromeDriver();
        var1.get("https://www.twitter.com");
There aren't many answers on the web on how to resolve this issue.
                This code is working fine for me. Please ensure you have the ChromeDriver of proper version is installed in your system. You may also try to use WebDriverManager of Bonigarcia.

It looks like a problem connected to selenium version or wrong webdriver version. Try with this:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.twitter.com");
Use the following depedencies:
        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>4.6.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
            <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.1</version>
        </dependency>
