Is there a fix for Microsoft software running on a Surface with the snapdragon processor?
it seems incomprehensible that Teams and Outlook fail every time there's a windows update due to WebView 2 errors. These are all MS products. The Surface is a great laptop, but too frequently rendered useless by this persistent failure.
