Installing WebView2 runtime

Anonymous

I ran the latest update for Windows 11 today. The update gave an error, but it was successful after I deleted the software distribution files. However, Microsoft Teams and New Outlook are not running. They state that I have to install WebView2 runtime, but when I try installing it, it says it's already installed. When I searched the control panel, I could not find WebView2 runtime. Any help is appreciated.

    I ran the latest update for Windows 11 today. The update gave an error, but it was successful after I deleted the software distribution files. However, Microsoft Teams and New Outlook are not running. They state that I have to install WebView2 runtime, but when I try installing it, it says it's already installed. When I searched the control panel, I could not find WebView2 runtime. Any help is appreciated.

    I've run into several instances with this issue and especially with MS Teams.

      c. type : .\setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    I spent 3 hours on this today. I finally figured it out for myself, but I am running 365 Office.

    1. Go to Settings; Installed Apps. Click on Microsoft Edge - More Options. Click Advanced settings; Modify and then click Repair.

    Do the same thing with Edge Update Winview app if it appears on the installed app list. After the above modification, the Winview app disappeared on my app list.

    Go to Outlook App on the list and repeat steps for #1. All my data was intact from my Outlook files, btw.

    Good luck; this is so frustrating.
