Hi folks,
Hoping someone can shed some light on this. :)
We have devices imaging from Intune. M365 Apps for Ent is installed as part of the Autopilot sequence in the ESP stage.
I can see, after the build completes, a folder with WebView2 runtime in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\131.0.2903.51
However, the app is not showing in the Add-Remove Programs, nor is it in the Apps & Features view.
We do have "enable automatic installation of WebView2 Runtime" enabled in Device Configuration - Modern Apps Settings [config.office.com].
Anyone else seeing this? How would you would uninstall?
K

It appears that WebView2 Runtime is listed as a System Component and no longer shows up with the install list. The relevant registry is as follows, change it to 0 to restore the display.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft EdgeWebView]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
Removing comment text - new comment below.

The registry key wasn't present when I checked my registry.
However, I manually created the DWORD value and tested assigning values of 0 or 1, this did affect whether the app appeared in Add Remove Programs.
This wasn't true for a colleague's device however, this registry setting had no effect on the Add Remove Programs list.
I ran a PowerShell cmdlet to force enumeration of installed apps (to update Add / Remove Programs) after changing the value to 0 or 1:
Get-CimInstance Win32_InstalledWin32Program

@[Kat_21] Thanks for posting in our Q&A.
For this issue, after installation, we’ll see an entry for Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime under Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features. If we can't see it, it seems that WebView2 is not installed successfully.
For how to uninstall WebView2, someone else has discussed this issue. Please refer to the following link:

Hope it will give you some ideas.
