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.
