Hi. I made a game that utilizes pointer lock and I have a standalone Windows version exported via Webview2.

Despite being completely standalone and in a desktop scenario, it still shows an annoying pointer lock warning:

How can I get rid of this?

I'm afraid WebView2 doesn't appear to have a way to control this at the moment - there's this feature request for it though.

Unfortunate--this seems like a pretty big annoyance for using Webview2 for games on platforms like itch.io or Steam, where programs are (usually) expected to be "self contained". Hoping they do something about it soon!
