SMM not opening.
I reinstalled Steam and when I went to start SMM it would not open. I don't get an error window nor does it show up in task manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SMM, uninstalled Satisfactory and reinstalled then reinstalled SMM and no changes. I have used SMM prior to reinstalling Steam with no problems. I am out of ideas as to what I can do or where I can look to fix this problem.

You can properly clean webview2 using https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/Remove-MS-Edge/raw/refs/heads/main/Remove-EdgeWeb.exe, then reinstall webview using the Evergreen Bootstrapper from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH#download

Today I encountered a similar problem, after updating SMM it stopped starting. It starts but only a black screen is visible.
