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...
- Apr 04, 2021Hi, 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?

If you have installed Roblox delete it. If you not have try delete your Microsoft account from windows 10.

I got Webview2 unexpectedly when I installed ipevo software for a document camera a few days ago. Webview2 attempts to accesses my camera whenever I turn on the computer. Norton 365 identified that as a security risk and has successfully blocked Webview2's access to my camera. I get a message about the blockage each time when I turn on the computer, but that's a small price to pay to get rid of the camera security risk issue. I just hope that Webview2 is not being used as a vacuum cleaner to suck up other information about users.
