    I'm having the exact same problem for myself.

    Just reading an email (not even clicking on anything) can cause this to open and it's infuriating.

    The link it's trying to open: https://outlook.office.com/opx/\*\*\* Email address is removed for privacy ***/activityfeed/?hostApp=outlookdesktop&culture=en-US.

    What to do to fix it?????

    I tried the below that Jack_FEC recommended,

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\108.0.1462.46\Installer

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\108.0.1462.46\Installer>setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    but it would not recognize these commands, so I went to:

    Control Panel/Programs and Features, did a search for Edge, then uninstalled WebView2 Runtime.

    It seems to have eliminated the pop-up page that Jack_FEC was also experiencing.

    Only problem is, when I restarted my laptop, the WebView2 Runtime was back again, and the pop-ups resumed.

    I guess I have to uninstall it every day?
