Description
We plan to integrate WebView2 into our lockdown application Safe Exam Browser. We're using CreateDesktop and its related functions to create and activate a custom desktop on which we run our main UI. In the process of implementing the WebView2 integration, we had to notice that it doesn't seem to work on our custom desktop where explorer.exe isn't running.
We have found quite an old issue on the topic (#48), but are not sure whether it still is accurate. Thus we'd first like to ask whether you could confirm that the incompatibility is still the case, and secondly, if it is, whether there are any plans to make WebView2 work on custom desktops?
