Flacky timeout

See original GitHub issue

Puppeteer version: 1.9.0-post (chromium_revision 599821)
Platform / OS version: Windows 7 x64
URLs (if applicable): https://www.hackterms.com/
Node.js version: 10.12.0 or last 11.0.0 v8-canary

Is there a cause that the same code with the same puppeteer on the same OS works right on two different machines in headful mode, while in headless mode on one machine is constantly OK and on the second machine constantly produces timeout?

'use strict';

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async function main() {
  try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
    const [page] = await browser.pages();

    await page.goto('https://www.hackterms.com/');

    console.log(await page.evaluate(() => document.title));

    await browser.close();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
})();

Otput on both machines:

Hackterms: a dictionary of programming terms

'use strict';

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async function main() {
  try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const [page] = await browser.pages();

    await page.goto('https://www.hackterms.com/');

    console.log(await page.evaluate(() => document.title));

    await browser.close();
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
})();

The same output on one machine, the error on the second machine:
