The term "Evergreen" refers to a software component that updates itself automatically. In the context of WebView2, the is a system-wide installation that Microsoft maintains. When you use the Evergreen WebView2:
Your company sells a React/Vue/Blazor dashboard. Your “desktop app” is literally a 2MB wrapper that hosts the WebView2 and adds native taskbar integration, drag-and-drop for local files, and printing. Because you use Evergreen, your users never experience an “out-of-date browser” warning. It’s always fresh.
To run any application built on WebView2, the end-user's machine must have the installed.
: On compatible Windows versions, the WebView2 binaries are hard-linked with Microsoft Edge binaries when they match versions, further optimizing memory and disk usage Microsoft Learn Implementation Best Practices Availability Check : Always programmatically verify if the Evergreen Runtime is installed before initializing your application’s web control Microsoft Learn Update Handling
This means that while the runtime is shared, a clean Windows machine can still run your app seamlessly—the first launch silently fetches the runtime from Microsoft’s CDN.
Your installer does not need to carry 100MB+ of WebView2 binaries. You either:
In the modern landscape of Windows software development, building native applications that leverage web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) is no longer just a trend—it's a necessity. has emerged as the premier control for this purpose, allowing developers to embed web content seamlessly into native desktop apps.
A common concern with the Evergreen model is: "What if a Windows Update breaks my app?"

The runtime receives security patches, bug fixes, and new features without requiring the application developer to release a new version of their software 1.2.1.
Enterprise environments often block msedgewebview2 update endpoints. The runtime will fail to update silently. As a developer, either recommend that IT allow *.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com or consider switching to Fixed Version and deploying via SCCM.
In the , the WebView2 runtime is not packaged inside your application installer. Instead, your application points to a shared instance of the runtime installed on the client machine.
