renderer not changing/using wrong renderer

[dongfanglong2012]

I have a project that after doing some testing seems to always load using the edgehtml gui on my other computer. This breaks the scrollbars and a in general makes things not work right. On the computer I made it on it uses the right one though. I tried using webview.start(api.set_window, window, gui='edgechromium') per the web engine page but it doesn't seem to matter. when i take it to the other computer it uses the edgehtml one. If i load the .html file in a edge or chrome browser it loads right. But for some reason it seems on my other computer the gui flag doesn't seem tot do anything. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I have tried all of them and it seems no matter what one i set it too on the other computer it uses edgehtml.

This means that edgechromium is not available on your system and it falls back to edgehtml. You have to have Edge Webview2 runtime installed first.

thats strange i thought it was part of edge now. If i just load the html in edge it works so im guessing its only inside the browser then

that doesnt seem to be the problem. i went and manually installed it but there is no change

i thought since it was only doing it on that one computer that maybe it was the .net but it has version 4.8 and the edgechromium says it only needs 4.6.2. it has the right .net and it has the webview 2 runtime but for some reason when the page is loaded in the app it is clearly using the wrong renderer.

Could you debug this code and see what it returns and what dependencies it is missing?

Did you install this runtime?
