Can you run winget upgrade and post the table it shows?

[kvnxiao]

@jedieaston It seems I cannot reproduce this anymore after running through the latest windows update on my machine.

I'm have similar problems, except mine completes downloading and fails upgrading.

I cannot uninstall it: the option is disabled.
I cannot re-install it, the installer says it's already installed

How else can this component be upgraded?

[jedieaston]

This issue isn’t fixed, it may be able to be fixed if/when #1885 happens. Or if WebView2’s installer is changed to work correctly under this scenario.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Nejat]

Is there a way of uninstalling the current version?

[jedieaston]

winget uninstall "Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime" should work, I believe (or uninstall it from "Add and Remove Programs").
