EX-110 3.9.0.0

I have "Modern UI Apps/Microsoft - Edge" selected for removal.

In 23h2, Windows/Sys32 has a 483.5 MB folder named "Microsoft-Edge-WebView".
Windows/WinSXS has a 655 MB folder named "amd64_microsoft_edge_webview_31bf3
856ad364e35_10.0.22621.2428_none_72d5237e06535145"

These folders do not exist in 22h2 and 21h2 even though I use same wccf file.

Is this a bug or intentional? I don't use apps that require WebView and would
rather not have this 1+ GB of baggage.

Hello MiamiRedhawk,

This is something new in 23h2, so I will proceed to the removal of these annoying folders for the next version 3.9.1.0 (available on Monday 15 January) ... thank you very much for the detailed report Smile

SOLVED in v3.9.1.0 [ALL] !

It will be available in a couple of hours.

The new file may be detected temporarily as a virus by Windows Defender (I already sent a sample to MS, so the resolution should be quick).
