You don't?! What's wrong with you?!  
Seriously, the OP appears to think that he/she is owed a free private consultation on his/her code. I would send him/her your price schedule for such consultations.
Don't forget the extra zeroes on the right (to the left of the decimal point)...
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Hmmm, I think there is a little miss understanding going on here. 1) The reply you gave looking at it was 'read this, try that' compared to reply that was expected of 'do this it will work', I know the first time I asked a question I got that sort of reply and found it a little off putting... then I looked at other replies and the penny dropped of how Q&A works. 2) I have tried to answer questions the way the OP wants and have been dragged into bits of the OP has been told to 'X' by some one with no idea of what 'X' is so the questions that needs to be asked is what is 'X' but at this point they are so far down the rabbit hole they don't want to or can't ask.

I would just point them to the FAQ and sign off with "Have a nice day".

Maybe someone should start by clarifying whose responsibility it is to fix the problem?
The OP or those who try to help for free and on their own time???

Had OP put the time spent on this screed into debugging the code, it would have been working already.

Actually, it looks like the problem comes down to OriginalGriff being TOO helpful.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

That's how I feel about OriginalGriff The way he does it is always a good example to emulate.

His question was: "how can you destroy the webview2 viewer" ... which you ignored / did not understand.
(Even S.O. didn't find it necessary to lecture him)
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Nice link.
I wonder if under "Writings and Inscriptions", we'll one day find that twit's first tweet.

Should Paris ever come out of lockdown, visit the Louvre when it's raining hard - the queue is far, far shorter ...
Well worth a visit once you are inside though.

Only been to Paris twice, Went to the Louvre on a nice day just to realize exactly that. 
So we went to Versailles instead and finished the evening at L'Escargot.
Oddly enough I suppose, higher on my list of what to do in Paris is E. Dehillerin[^]

My wife went to Versailles once.
I was working in Paris and she came along for the ride.
Good times, great restaurants!

An incredible place, you could spend a month just wondering around and not see everything.

It has been calculated that to see every the exhibited piece without lingering or hurrying it would take about 9 months.

August 1974... Not too crowded to stroll round, but rubbernecks (mostly leftpond by the sound of them) more than ten deep around the Mona Lisa.
The other highlight of that visit. My sister-in-law's schoolgirl French at the ticket box trying to sort out whether we wanted 3 tickets to the second level of the Eiffel Tower or 2 tickets to the third level.
Cheers,

First time I was in Paris, in the Metro at Gare l'est, I overheard an American Lady (a Karen in modern vocabulary) trying to buy train tickets to Barcelona from a French Lady (what's the French corresponding version of a Karen?) at the ticket booth.
It was a culture clash at a monumental level.
The American lady refused to understand that she needed to go to the train station one level above, and the French lady was, well as French as you can get. 
Got dual prejudices confirmed in one go.
