- Open the WebView folder.

- Run the sample from within the SampleBrowser.

- Observe that the content is not displayed.

Research direction

Start with the attached samplebrowser-winui.zip and the WebView folder, then run the sample from within the SampleBrowser to reproduce the loading failure. Compare its behavior with the same control in a standalone sample project; done means the HTML content displays inside SampleBrowser while retaining the applied background color.
