pwahelper.exe missing

For some reason, something has calused pwahelper.exe to become missing or corrupted, resulting in an error on PWA installation. Weirdly, the PWA then opens as expected but Edge does not recognize it as being installed, and I have to use the system to uninstall it.

      Canary channel. And yes, a full uninstall / reinstall restored the missing file last time I had this issue a few months ago.

      But I would like to have the issue that makes the file corrupted be fixed in the first place 🙂
