Managed devices are not included in the rollout. With the rollout, we plan to cover Consumer devices with Windows 10 April 2018 or later update for Home and Pro OS editions. Once we complete the WebView2 Runtime rollout started today, developers can more reliably depend on the presence of WebView2 on Windows 10 or later consumer devices, in addition to all Windows 11 devices, making WebView2 app deployment much more straightforward. Redistributable runtime deployment allows developers to use WebView2 on devices that didn’t yet have the runtime, but comes with increased development cost and has been a pain point for WebView2 developers.

In the past two years, more than 400 million of these devices now have the WebView2 runtime thanks to developers building and distributing WebView2 applications. For Windows 10, we have recommended developers to distribute and install the runtime with their applications. Starting with Windows 11, the WebView2 Runtime is included as part of the operating system. Most end users will likely never hear about or interact with the runtime directly, but through the applications it enables.

The WebView2 Runtime provides the underlying web platform for WebView2 applications.

WebView2 powers thousands of applications today, including products from Microsoft Office and Cerner. It allows developers to leverage the best of what Microsoft Edge Chromium platform can offer and build seamless experiences for their users that incorporate web-based content. Microsoft Edge WebView2 is a developer control for embedding web content in applications.
