Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Update\Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime Description
Lets you specify whether or not automatic updates are enabled for the WebView2 Runtime. The WebView2 Runtime is a component used by applications to display web content. Automatic updates are enabled by default. Disabling automatic updates for the WebView2 Runtime might cause compatibility issues with applications that depend on this component. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles the WebView2 Runtime updates according to how you configure the following options: - Always allow updates (1): Updates are automatically downloaded and applied - Updates disabled (0): Updates are never downloaded or applied If you don't enable this policy, updates are automatically downloaded and applied.
