Silent install/uninstall Edge WebView2 Runtime

Hello everyone,

How can I install/uninstall Edge WebView2 Runtime silently?

 

FYI:- Edge WebView2 Runtime is getting installed along with PowerBI Desktop but only PowerBI desktop is getting uninstalled and 'Edge WebView2 Runtime' is not getting uninstalled from my computer

    Hi, I had the same issue,

    Googling around found the solution to be the following 

    setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    setup.exe (under Webview installation directory) with following targets.
    --force-uninstall
    --uninstall
    --msedgewebview
    --system-level

    But M365 apps will install it too.
