Answer 1

Hi vmars316,
I made a test by following this document and I have the same problem as you.
I try to download and install Microsoft Edge Beta channel instead of Microsoft Edge Canary channel, it worked fine.
So you can try Microsoft Edge Beta channel.
Best Regards,

Thanks Daniel ;
Beta verson solved the startupPage problem .
But now the 'private void Form_Resize' doesn't work .
And the 'private void goButton_Click' doesn't even execute .

{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.Resize += new System.EventHandler(this.Form_Resize);
            webView = new Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms.WebView2();

        }
            private void Form_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webView.Size = this.ClientSize - new System.Drawing.Size(webView.Location);
            goButton.Left = this.ClientSize.Width - goButton.Width;
            addressBar.Width = goButton.Left - addressBar.Left;
            MessageBox.Show("private void Form_Resize");
        }
            private void goButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (webView != null && webView.CoreWebView2 != null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("private void goButton_Click");
                webView.CoreWebView2.Navigate(addressBar.Text);
            }
        }

        private void addressBar_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

    } // class Form1
} // namespace WinFormsGettngStarted
