- Hi, WebView2 isn't something you use and see it in action, there is no user interface for you to interact with, it's the backbone of other software that rely on it. Windows 10 has WebView 1 installed by default in it, number 2 is the one that's based on Chromium.
can't tell why exactly you have it without knowing what's on your computer.
which Windows 10 build are you using?
Dude I don't use ANYTHING that depends on the edge webview, it doesn't even hit or anything if I need something I install it. I just want to remove this from my pc, as well as useless for me, it slows everything down.
GustavoGalvao even though you may not use it, it is still needed by the apps & system. Similar was the case with Microsoft Edge WebView 1 powered by Legacy Edge, & so is the case with this.
1. May I know what OS you are on?
2. May I see a report of where you claim it slows down your PC? It does not run in background unless called by an app that needs it.
