Overview
- Microsoft Partner Architect Rudy Huyn said he is hiring a Windows team to ship apps built fully in WinUI with no WebView.
- Huyn confirmed the 100% native rule in replies to his hiring post on X, making the plan an on-record commitment from the Windows org.
- The work sits inside the Windows K2 quality effort, which targets top Windows 11 pain points like slow performance and uneven design.
- WebView is a built-in browser layer that many apps lean on, and replacing it with native code should cut memory use and reduce lag.
- Key details remain open, including which apps get rebuilt and how Outlook, Teams, and Copilot will be handled since they use WebView and belong to other Microsoft groups.
