Description

Description
Can't get a small test WPF project to work on server 2012. Comes up in a blank window. It works fine in windows 10
Here is the XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:wv2="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf;assembly=Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp1" mc:Ignorable="d" Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800"> <DockPanel> <wv2:WebView2 Name="webView" Source="https://www.microsoft.com" /> </DockPanel> </Window>

and here is the c# code

using System.Windows;
namespace WpfApp1
{
///


/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}

Version
SDK: 1.0.674-prerelease
Runtime: using the runtime 87.0.664.47
Framework: .NET 4.8
OS: Server 2012 no service pack

Repro Steps
-set up a minimal WPF project in visual studio with the code listed above along with .net framework 8
-deploy the solution along with the runtime(version listed above) to server 2012 R2
-should display a window with the embedded browser that navigates to www.microsoft.com
-What we are getting is a blank window. No error messages

Research direction

Start with the minimal WPF XAML and MainWindow code in the issue, then reproduce it on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Citrix using the listed WebView2 runtime and framework versions. Review the existing comment thread for prior diagnostics and compare the blank result with the expected embedded microsoft.com page. Done means the deployed project displays a nonblank WebView2 window.
