* Notes:
1. There is an intermittent issue with the Intel NPU driver that causes failure of NPU adapter creation. The `WebNN(NPU)` backend button in the samples will be disabled with message "Unable to find a capable adapter". If you encounter this issue, please relaunch your browser and try again.
2. The flag `disable_webnn_for_npu` is set to true by default to disable WebNN on NPU due to the aforementioned issue. To bypass this, use `--disable_webnn_for_npu=0`. This flag will be removed once the issue is resolved.
3. Running WebNN on NPU requires a higher version of DirectML.dll than the one in the Windows system. Using the `--use-redist-dml` flag will allow Google Chrome Canary to load the downloaded DirectML.dll with a sufficiently high version.
* **Notes**:

Running WebNN on NPU requires a higher version of DirectML.dll than the one in the Windows system. Using the `--use-redist-dml` flag will allow Google Chrome Canary to load the downloaded DirectML.dll with a sufficiently high version.
