Webview2 failed initialization, error information as follows problem

I was having issues with Win 11, did an uninstall of updated features which fixed that. Now on launching VP23 or VP22 I get "Webview2 failed initialization, error information as follows: Expecting Object to be local". This also prevents launching login to Hub. Resetting VP23 does not fix it, neither does reinstalling VP23. I then tried reinstalling Webview2 from Microsoft site, it fails telling me it is already installed. Neither control panel nor Revo uninstaller finds webview2 to permit uninstall (and then reinstall). Any suggestions would be appreciated
