WebView2 application can't open file dialog when it run as administrator

Question

WebView2 WPF application can't open file dialog when it run as administrator. When I run the application as user mode, I can open file dialog normally.

Answer 1

Hi @jang ,

I think the issue you mentioned is the same as this thread on github: WebView2 WPF application can't open file dialog when it run as administrator.

As the related team member already mentioned, WebView2 doesn't support running as administrator. So this is by design, hope you understand.

Best regards,
