iCloud Passwords app for Windows 11 crashes after opening

The iCloud Password App for windows 11 pro (25H2) has stopped working.

When I want to look up a password, it opens the passwords "app" - asks for my Windows PIN or fingerprint - loads for about 5 seconds and then crashes.

The extension for chrome and edge is still working and filling in passwords.

Removing "icloud Outlook" add-on doesn't help, as well as "repair" iCloud through "settings-apps-icloud-> additional options->Rest->"Repair"

Can anyone help?

Reinstall the WebView2 Runtime (Most common fix)

This solves the issue for about 70% of users.

Thank you azaksalmarzur28 for reply.

Downloading latest version of WebView2 Runtime and istalling it over existing vesrion did not help.

Most of the "easy" ways to unisntall WebView2 (via Control Panel - there is no such app, via Command prompt with "setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall" command - nothing happened).

"Last" suggestion how to uninstall WebView2 I found is to delete respective folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\xxxx.x.x\ and to delete two Registry keys, but I have not tried it, since I'm not sure on consequences (some people says that WebView2 should not be deleted ever, since it will have impact on may applications).

Any advise?)
