Microsoft Edge webView2 Runtime do not want it

I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 Pro. The version is 21H1. OS build is 19043.1865. I use Opera is my default web browser. I never used Microsoft Edge and it is not installed. I did a full reinstallation of the Windows 10 Pro last month due to bloated Windows. My issue is that Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime keeps reinstalling no matter how many times I removed the program. I did a search online that WebView2 was part of Microsoft 365 which I don’t use. I use Office 2016 Home and Student edition. I removed Microsoft 365 and disabled Microsoft Edge Update Services. Every time I connect to the internet, the Edge WebView 2 runtime returns even through I used the Microsoft Edge ChromiumBlocker toolkit. I used a cmd script to block the installation of Edge and its WebView 2 thru automatic updates. Automatic updates of other Microsoft products are not enabled. Why does WebView 2 Runtime keeps returning? It’s a 521 MB file that is never used. I don’t do any Office documents online. I found this in PowerShell folder “PSReadLine” which has this text below: get-appxpackage *edge* remove-appxpackage Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient_1000.19041.1023.0_neutral_neutral_8wekyb3d8bbwe exit How to stop reinstallation of Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime? I don't have Edge installed but there's a blank icon of Microsoft Edge in the Universal Applications Folder. I can't locate that Edge link because I use Stardock Start 10 software. - - - Updated - - - Update: I solved the issue. I let the Microsoft Edge WebView 2 runtime installed and in my firewall software, I added the Edge updater to list and blocked it. In addition, I found that I have no host file and created a new one and added these to host file: 127.0.0.1 https://msedge.api.cdp.microsoft.com 127.0.0.1 *.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com Now the Edge WebView2 runtime doesn't get installed.

Microsoft Edge Webview2 runtime

I keep uninstalling Microsoft Edge Webview3 Runtime off my computer, but it keeps reinstalling. This is, at least to me, malware. How do I keep this off my computer? I do not have Office 365 on my computer. I also uninstalled the Edge browser since i hate it thinking it is the most important app. The Webview2 runtime has the same attitude.
