Nothing pops up when i select the option from the app or dropdown menu. The our apps tab also does not load. I have already downloaded and run WebView2 Runtime installer and was met with a window that read it was already installed. I have also restarted and reinstalled the app but nothing has worked. Please help! i am stuck with all black wallpaper for now

Did you manually install WebView, or did you let it install through the DisplayFusion prompt?

i downloaded it from this link (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703) and ran it. A window popped up saying it had already been installed

Could you uninstall Webview through the "Add/Remove Programs" section in Windows, and then re-install DisplayFusion (where it should prompt to install it directly), and see if the issue persists?

i uninstalled webview and then uninstalled and reinstalled displayfusion but nothing changed and nothing prompted another webview installation. I reinstalled webview using the link and the same message popped up. i checked in "add / remove programs" and in control panel and it dosent show its installed. :'(

Strange, if you open your registry editor do you have this path?

Code
Copy
Select All

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

no there is edge but no edgeupdate (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge). Although i dont know if this helps but there is edgeupdate in HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate). picture attached is in HKCU

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Reply with the file attached
Disable debug logging after sending the log

We've released a new beta with some changes that might help here, can you try it out and let me know if the issue persists?

i updated to the latest beta and yes the issue still persists

With this beta we've added two new advanced settings: Disable WebView2 GPU Rendering, and Disable WebView2 Software Rasterizer. Could you try a combination of enabling/disabling both of them, and enabling them together, and see if anything fixes it?

This is really strange, if you run the webview installer as admin, does that make any difference?

YES! It did! I just had to run it as admin and it downloaded it correctly. Now the menu opens. I cant believe it was something so simple and i dont know why it would be like that. Either way thankyou for your help! i am so psyched to use my wallpapers again
