Description
Trying to navigate to different URI schemes lead to several unexpected results -
- An 'open application popup' is raised inconsistently. For instance, for the built in window scheme
ms-settings:it is raised but not formicrosoft-edge: - I couldn't find a way in the settings to disable internal scheme handling and not show that popup at all
- At least in the case of
ms-settings:clicking OK leads to a core process failure exception
OS: Win10
WebView version: latest dev channel

Research direction
Start by reproducing the URI-scheme behavior on Windows 10 with the latest Dev Channel WebView version, testing both ms-settings: and microsoft-edge:. Check whether the application popup appears consistently, whether internal scheme handling can be disabled, and whether confirming ms-settings: still causes a core process failure; done means these behaviors are understood and addressed or clearly documented.
