CoreWebView2 unavailable error
Options
When running LINQPad 7.2.7 x64 (beta stream) I am getting a "CoreWebView2 unavailable" error every time I try and run a query:
Previous versions of LINQPad 7 did not have this issue. The issue can be worked around by displaying the results using the legacy Internet Explorer engine.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro 21H2 19044.1526.

This is usually caused by a WebView2 crash. Does restarting Windows help?

Bingo - reboot fixed it. Thanks!

It might have been caused by an update to the shared Windows WebView2 installation. The latest beta detects when the WebView2 version changes, and creates a separate data folder, so that kind of problem might lessen in the future.
