Description

Webview2 Runtime 108.0.1462.54 fails on Windows 2012 R2 RDS servers (works great on newer OSs)
CoreWebView2InitializationCompletedEventArgs.IsSuccess = FALSE on Windows 2012 R2 RDS servers
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007139F)
107.0.1418.62 works on 2012 R2 RDS

Stack:

See attached project and comments inside (remember to restore nuget package before building)

1. build projects run exe from debug folder .. no issues displaying microsoft.com site.

2. copy debug folder to Windows 2012 R2 server with WebView2 Runtime 108.0.1462.54 installed.
   CoreWebView2InitializationCompletedEventArgs.IsSuccess returns false and WebView2 is useless :<

3. I rolled back all the recent Dec 2022 updates servers received (no change) .
   I was able to "Fix" by restoring a backup of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\107.0.1418.62"
   into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\108.0.1462.54" folder.
   on the 2012 R2 server so I'm semi-confident this is a breaking change between 107 and 108.

Additional context
We still have a few locations who refuse to upgrade their 2012 R2 until official end of life.
In one Location App works when run under administrator login but not under user's (non admin rights) login.
Initially I thought it was a profile/permission/registry issue. until following day 3 other locations called in with the issue/blank webview2 forms.
