What happened?

I have been using Webview2 with Winforms with the same code for more than a year and everything was fine till yesterday. My computer recevived an update and now the Component is sometimes freezing, even you see no right click menu on it, nothing is working. I do not know why it started but I will be very happy if you can fix this please. Regards

We have few known issues in 120.0.2210.121 - for example: 1, 2. 120.0.2210.133 is in the middle of rolling out with some fixes.

• Do you have dumps?
  • Do you see any ProcessFailed events?
  • Does it repro in Canary?

I installed 120.0.2210.133 but the same issue persists, I do not get any errors or dumps with my software just the webview2 component freezes and the GPU fan starts to run like crazy, I cannot get a right click menu on the component. Thanks

What about Canary? Can we get traces? Which url you are trying to navigate?

I just thought - could you do screenshot of Task Manager with WebView2 processes - is there anything interesting there?

@vbryh-msft WebView2 works fine with integrated GPU, whereas It would freeze entire system UI when I'm using TB3 eGPU(AMD Radeon 6600XT). And I checked Task Manger, It seems that GPU usage(both 3D and Copy) drops down to ZERO during the freeze.
