I guess one of the background updates to MS EDGE installed a few apps and processes I didn't ask for ...
One of them is msedgewebview2.exe ( 7 instances in task manager under " SEARCH " )
- No process found in services to disable. ( that I could find )
- Navigated to the install folder in admin control prompt to manually uninstall ( no conformation of removal - it's still there )
- Used ShutUp 10 App remover - but it's not listed.
If anyone has the correct uninstall command prompt ( admin ) - please share.
Method 4: Advanced App Removal (Not Recommended)
Navigated to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\148.0.3967.96\Installer then run this setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
No confirmation of uninstall Is the command correct ?
Any other remedies ?
I have disabled EDGE wigets and background services within the MS Edge settings.
