![]() I have been watching this issue for some time as it causes mayhem with Edge View and Creative Cloud updates and is an almost daily royal pain as I want to use Ask To Connect at all times so being able to white list by executable name (path is not going to help as these things run out of TEMP) would be gold. NET, UWP apps with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 control. Introduction to Microsoft Edge WebView2 - Microsoft Edge Development I had to set firewall policies to block each of them (as I am not comfy with a program getting net access using this method), but that did not affect the MS Edge browser itself, which is a good thing… Edge has its own executable and firewall policy (allowed here). I contacted the tech support for one application, and they confirmed that’s how it is supposed to work. So it apparently is a Microsoft method for a 3rd party application to be web enabled internally, for example so it can access a proprietary in-app store. I did some checking, and this executable is NOT the MS Edge browser itself, but rather is a runtime method for a web aware application to connect to the network. Both are signed by Microsoft, but are different versions. ![]() One of them uses a version stored in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView” path, but the other program has it’s own copy in its application folder under Program Files at “C:\Program Files\SINE Player\BrowserRuntime”. I ran across a couple of local programs that access a copy of “msedgewebview2” runtime to gain access to the net.
