We have been updating our cluster from 8.19 to 9.4.1, we finished all the nodes except the kibana. when updating we saw the service stuck on [plugins.screenshotting.chromium] Browser executable: /usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/@kbn/screenshotting-plugin/chromium/headless\_shell-linux\_x64/headless\_shell.

when adding the setting xpack.screenshotting.enabled: false its stuck on starting saved objects migrations.  
we kept all ymls the same on all the nodes.
