[bug] The Quick-start project cannot be started and the window flashes back.

Describe the bug

Hi, I am a newbie to Tauri. According to the quick-start tutorial on the Tauri official website, I created a project. However, the window flashed back when it was started.

I have also tried to use Cargo to initialize the project:

PS F:\project\rust-projects> cargo install create-tauri-app --locked
    Updating crates.io index
     Ignored package `create-tauri-app v4.5.1` is already installed, use --force to override

  npm install
  npm run tauri android init

Similarly, the project still flashes back when started.

So I no longer insist on using the cargo tauri dev or npm run tauri dev command to start the project. After executing the command:

cargo install create-tauri-app --locked
cargo create-tauri-app

I tried to use the IDE RustRover to start the project. The following error is reported in the IDE's console:

cargo.exe run --color=always --package tauri-test --bin tauri-test
    Finished dev profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.23s
     Running target\debug\tauri-test.exe
error: process didn't exit successfully: target\debug\tauri-test.exe (exit code: 0x80000003)

Is there something I did wrong?

Can you please also include the output of cargo tauri info as required by the issue template? Thanks.

[yancy-hong]

Sorry. The issue template content has been updated at the place of 'Full tauri info output' above. At the same time, I have also added a failed GIF image at the place of 'Reproduction'.

[FabianLars]

Hmm, looks like it's failing to start the webview. Can you try Windows Settings -> Apps -> Microsoft Edge WebView2 -> Change -> Repair?

[yancy-hong]

Success! Tauri is working! I found that my previous WebView2 version was 121.0.2277.83. Now, after updating it to 129.0.2792.89, Tauri has been successfully started. Thank you for your help.
