Description

What happened?

We have a windows standalone application that uses WebView2, developed in VS 17.6.5, for the release, we create a MSIX package. When users start to download it, some people can see the content in WebView2 without any issue, but some just see a bland screen, they can right-mouse click the WebView2 area and run "Inspect", but nothing display.

Research direction

Start by comparing the WebView2 Runtime and corresponding Edge versions, Windows 11 environments, and MSIX installation details for users who can and cannot load the page. Reproduce the blank WebView2 area with Inspect available; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting a verified fix or workaround.
