Cannot reinstall Edge WebView2

[Lookalike]

Some time ago I uninstalled some bloatware, including edge and edge WebView2 as part of some PC clean-up related to another thread I posted here regarding some internet speed issues.

Since then I was looking to play a Minecraft modpack through the Modrinth app. As Modrinth uses webView2 it cannot launch. I attempted to reinstall webview2 using the install wizard however the wizard will not open. I have looked for people with similar issues and found nothing.

Any ideas on what’s going on or possible solutions?

Many thanks

I’ve already tried that one and unfortunately the wizard just doesn’t launch, the cursor shows its loading for about 5 seconds and then nothing. Nothing even comes up on “apps” bar of taskmaster.

Try this one.

Enable the built in admin account and try and install both.

Else you will need a repair install.

Check to see if it is installed with Everything search engine.

Search the following:

Thanks for all the help Mal!

Also, double click your recycle bin find everything edge related and right click and restore. Then reboot the machine and test.
