Before discussing the installer, let’s clarify what the Runtime actually does.

: If an app that relies on WebView2 (like Microsoft 365 or Outlook) isn't working, you can select the runtime in the Apps list, click , and choose to fix corrupted files. Background Processes : Once installed, you may see msedgewebview2.exe

Enterprise Deployment: IT administrators often use tools like Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) to push software to thousands of devices simultaneously. Using an offline installer saves significant bandwidth by preventing every machine from downloading the same files individually.
