Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime can't be uninstalled.
I've been redirected(from there) to ask here about one issue I have. Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime keeps getting installed on my PC. I can't uninstall it as next day it somehow installs itself back...
- 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?

Actually, the best solution is to revert back to Windows 10 21H2.
There are too many issues with W11 that there's no need to upgrade until W10 is no longer officially supported or there is some functionality that you must have.
Lmao you both are so wrong xD
1. You will get WebView2 even if you stay on Windows 10 21H2 or upgrade to Windows 11.
2. Gustavo, what are you speaking about? Do you even know what a WebView is? It is much more than switching default browser and calling it a day.

Rohit Yadav Hmm. With my W10 21H2 I was able to stop it from coming back. Then again, my installation seems to have gremlins.
- Like I said, it is a system component so you cannot get rid of it permanently.
Rohit Yadav And like I said, I was able to prevent it from coming back 😉
