Hello, it's very hard to find subtopics when you might have a specific issue with a store app.

I have used Clipchamp extensively in the past. Not for the last couple of months. I went back and it's wanting to load webview2 every time. I have fresh installed a new webview2. I have run DSM restore health and sfc /scannow. I have uninstalled Clipchamp from the store and reinstalled it.

Still this issue. And on another pc right next to it, it's forever loading projects and never getting there. It used to run so well just a couple of months ago? This seems to be malfunctioning in the app and in the browser. I keep my pc clean and (well it's old) clean and half mean! :)

Dell Optiplex 3050 SFF.

Win 10 Pro and well maintained.

    It sounds like you're experiencing persistent issues with Clipchamp related to WebView2. Since you've already tried reinstalling WebView2 and Clipchamp, as well as running system maintenance commands like sfc /scannow, here are a few additional troubleshooting steps you might consider:

    1. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 10 Pro is fully updated, as updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
    2. Clear Cache and Data: If Clipchamp has any cache or temporary files, clearing them might help. You can do this through the app settings or by using a system cleaner.
    3. Test on a Different User Profile: Create a new user profile on your Windows machine and try running Clipchamp from there. This can help determine if the issue is related to your user profile.
    4. Check for Conflicting Software: Sometimes, antivirus or other security software can interfere with app performance. Temporarily disable them to see if it resolves the issue.
    5. Contact Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for Clipchamp for more targeted assistance.

    Since you mentioned that the other PC is also having issues, it could indicate a broader compatibility problem with the app or WebView2 on your systems.

    Hi Jack 2 Poore, I can imagine how frustrating that must feel especially since Clipchamp used to run smoothly for you and now it’s stuck on WebView2 every time.

    Clear Clipchamp cache then reinstall WebView2 completely try a fresh Windows profile repair or reset Clipchamp in Settings make sure OneDrive files are local update Windows and GPU drivers and if all else fails test Clipchamp in your browser.

    When Clipchamp starts loading WebView2, does it eventually open after a long delay or does it stay stuck indefinitely even after clearing cache and reinstalling?

    Best regards

    Lucky
