.NET: How can I find out why my Selenium ChromeDriver constructor is throwing on time out?

I have a C# project that implements several Selenium.WebDriver browser tests. The tests target Google Chrome through the ChromeDriver class provided in Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver.

The tests pass green in ש CI environment but when I run them locally (from Visual Studio 2019 in debug mode) the following happens:

1. I see Google Chrome open up in "remote control mode".
2. Chrome shows a blank page (URL says "data;.")
3. The run freezes on the line where I call the ChromeDriver constructor.
4. After 60 seconds an exception is throw with the following stack trace:

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException
  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:27556/session timed out after 60 seconds.
  Source=WebDriver

Inner Exception 1:
WebException: The operation has timed out

My question is - How can I determine why the request to the remote WedDriver server times out? Is there a debug or trace log that I can enable? Or can I step into the ChromeDriver constructor to examine its internal workings? How?

Please note: I am not including the specific code for setting up my ChromeDriver as I am under some code security restrictions placed by the code's owner. My question is for a generalized procedure or tooling for debugging the general situation I've described. Thank you.
