The WebView2 control is built upon Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge browser.

Microsoft’s WebView2 allows developers to embed and render web content directly in their native applications, including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Microsoft Edge WebView2 is a prerequisite for Authentication Server and must be installed locally on any machine that runs the Blue Prism interactive client.
