@fxzxmic

Description

@fxzxmic

%SystemRoot%\System32\Microsoft-Edge-WebView
You can check the path, which is a non-uninstallable webview2 bound to the system and duplicates the webview2 located at %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\1*.*.*.*\.

You can use the following .reg file to switch external webview2 to system bound webview2.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2\BrowserExecutableFolder]
"*"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,\
  25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,4d,00,69,\
  00,63,00,72,00,6f,00,73,00,6f,00,66,00,74,00,2d,00,45,00,64,00,67,00,65,00,\
  2d,00,57,00,65,00,62,00,56,00,69,00,65,00,77,00,00,00

In this way, you should be able to delete external webview2 with peace of mind.
