SmartScreen helps webviews identify reported phishing and malware websites
and also helps users make informed decisions about downloads.
IsReputationCheckingRequired is used to control whether SmartScreen
enabled or not. SmartScreen is enabled or disabled for all CoreWebView2s
using the same user data folder. If
CoreWebView2Setting.IsReputationCheckingRequired is true for any
CoreWebView2 using the same user data folder, then SmartScreen is enabled.
If CoreWebView2Setting.IsReputationCheckingRequired is false for all
CoreWebView2 using the same user data folder, then SmartScreen is
disabled. When it is changed, the change will be applied to all WebViews
using the same user data folder on the next navigation or download. The
default value for IsReputationCheckingRequired is true. If the newly
created CoreWebview2 does not set SmartScreen to false, when
navigating(Such as Navigate(), LoadDataUrl(), ExecuteScript(), etc.), the
default value will be applied to all CoreWebview2 using the same user data
folder.
SmartScreen of WebView2 apps can be controlled by Windows system setting
"SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge", specially, for WebView2 in Windows
Store apps, SmartScreen is controlled by another Windows system setting
"SmartScreen for Microsoft Store apps". When the Windows setting is enabled, the
SmartScreen operates under the control of the IsReputationCheckingRequired.
When the Windows setting is disabled, the SmartScreen will be disabled
regardless of the IsReputationCheckingRequired value set in WebView2 apps.
In other words, under this circumstance the value of
IsReputationCheckingRequired will be saved but overridden by system setting.
Upon re-enabling the Windows setting, the CoreWebview2 will reference the
IsReputationCheckingRequired to determine the SmartScreen status.
