New versions and webview2

[JJJ]

Hello all, could someone answer or confirm a couple of points?

Would I be right in assuming that Version 1.3.1.0q is the current live version and that Version 1.3.0.49j has now been retired? I am actually using 1.3.1.0q as I received a forced upgrade a few months ago. Nothing wrong with that as it all works ok.

It is just that it now has all sorts of new features like historical stuff and live(ish) tv. I am never going to use any of these new functions and I was wondering if they might be slowing things down and can I/should I/do I need to delete or not load things?

One other thing I had noticed was that sometimes lots of instances of Microsoft Webview2 appear in my TaskManager. The odd thing is that this doesn't happen in every session. As an experiment I have tried deleting them and it seems to have no noticeable effect on performance. Are they needed? Should I uninstall webview2?

1.3.1.0q is the latest version that has been auto updated. The actual latest version is 1.3.1.2p which will start to automatically replace version 1.3.1.0q in the near future. This is the version that contains Total Performance Data.

They only use PC resources when using them, they cannot affect performance when not using them. If you don't have latest version though you could be missing out on any performance enhancements I might make. Now and again I will rewrite some code to make it more efficient.

This is the component used to display embedded web pages eg. login page, news page, live video popup etc. You should only see them in the task manager if one of these windows is displayed. Occasionally they might hang around, but they will not be affecting performance. If you uninstall this component you will break Betting Assistant.

Thank you, that is very clear. There be dragons!
