HTML failing to render on Windows 10

See original GitHub issue

Prelude

I’m quite new to Rust so it’s very likely I’ve missed something simple! If that’s the case I’ll apologise now in advance! Any suggestions on how I can provide more information, or further diagnose the issue please do let me know.

System Information: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18362

The Issue

The issue I’m having is that my example-project application won’t render any HTML (it just shows an empty application window) when I execute: cargo run. Interestingly enough though it works perfectly if I run the example_project.exe in the /target/debug directory.

As a side note, if I try to interact with the application window created by cargo run (for example by minimising it) I will get the following fault in my console:

error: process didn't exit successfully: `target\debug\example_project.exe` (exit code: 0xc000041d)

This is probably just a red-herring due to the application being in some unintended state, but for the sake of completeness the application error I get in the Event Viewer is as follows:

Faulting application name: wwahost.exe, version: 10.0.18362.1, time stamp: 0xd44a1ada

Full Context

Using a slightly modified elm-counter.rs file as an example I have the following main.rs file:

use web_view::*;

fn main() {
    let file_content = include_str!("index.html");
    println!("Hello World \n\n {}", file_content);
	
    web_view::builder()
        .title("Example Project")
        .content(Content::Html(file_content))
        .size(320, 480)
        .resizable(false)
        .debug(true)
        .user_data(())
        .invoke_handler(|_webview, _arg| Ok(()))
        .run()
        .unwrap();
}

And an index.html file in the same (src) directory:

<html><body><h1>Test</h1></body></html>

The only dependency I have defined in my Cargo.toml file is web-view, but I don’t think anything else is required:

[dependencies]
web-view = { version = "0.5.4", features = ["edge"] }

Thank you for your time!

Are you running as Administrator? Edge webview does not work when run as Administrator.

Gotcha. Cheers for clariying!

If there’s no objections I’ll fork this repo and update the documentation to be a bit more comprehensive for newcomers such as myself. I’ll see if I can raise a PR sometime this week.
