[Problem/Bug]: WebView2 Initializes fine with default url but not navigating to new url

[soojungk417]

What happened?

Hi, I have a WPF tool that uses webview2 to load a url, but I found that it works on someone's computer and doesn't work on another.
These are some facts:

• I'm using WebView2 134.0.3124.93 and I confirmed this is installed on those computers that won't work.
• Confirmed the default url I added as Source of wpf shows up and it says WebView is initialized(they both show value from Environment.BrowserVersionString), but it doesn't navigate to the new url that gets fed after initialized.
• Confirmed it's not related to Windows 10 vs 11.

What could be a potential reason?

Thanks!

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps

MainWindow.xaml has this
<wpf:WebView2 x:Name="webView" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Source="https://www.microsoft.com"/>

In MainWIndow.xaml.cs, it adds source url, which has correct value.
webView.Source = new Uri(_url);

Problem is this only happens on a couple of computers and can't seem to find what the common issue is between those computers.
