  "textContent": "I guess one of the background updates to MS EDGE installed a few apps and processes I didn't ask for ...\n\nOne of them is webview2.exe ( 7 instances in task manager under \" SEARCH \" )\n\n1. No process found in services to disable. ( that I could find )\n2. Navigated to the install folder in admin control prompt to manually uninstall\n( no conformation of removal - it's still there )\n3. Used ShutUp 10 App remover - but it's not listed.\n\nIf anyone has the correct uninstall command prompt ( admin ) - please share.\n\nMethod 4: Advanced App Removal (Not Recommended)\n\nNavigated to\nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\EdgeWebView\\Application\\148.0.3967.96\\Installer\nthen run this\nsetup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall\n\nNo confirmation of uninstall\n\nAny other remedies ?\n\nI have disabled EDGE wigets and background services within the MS Edge settings.",
