Avoid calling Cef.Shutdown or another workaround using both offscreen and winforms in the same app

[assopri]

I create chromium webbrowsers without explicit call to Cef.initialize (using RequestContext to isolate browser instance cache). They are created in secondary threads of my app (from Thread pull). However when I close software I get the following message:

I thought about just calling Cef initialize in main UI form constructor, however Cef initialize implies defining particular browser version (like Offscreen or Winforms), while I can create both types of browser during one app session.

Any workarounds here?

Avoid calling Cef.Shutdown

Cef.Shutdown must be called to ensure the cache is written to disk.

I thought about just calling Cef initialize in main UI form constructo

That sounds fine.

however Cef initialize implies defining particular browser version (like Offscreen or Winforms), while I can create both types of browser during one app session.

Use the CefSharp.WinForms.CefSettings instance if you are planning on using WinForms and OffScreen.

CefSharp.OffScreen.CefSettings has audio muted by default. Basically just some different defaults.
