APB Launcher doens't work on Enterprise variants of Windows (Education & LTSC) [FIXED AS OF 16TH Oct 2026]

[purpleHorizons]

I've tried 3 installations: Windows 10 Pro (22H2), Windows 10 Education (22H2), Windows 10 LTSC (21H2)
I havent removed WebView2
The APB Launcher, upon starting it, instantly crashes with the typical "Send Log" window.

Why is this a thing?

UPDATE:
Fixed as of the Halloween Patch (15th October 2026), which introduced the new APB Launcher that isn't based on WebView2
Windows 10 Enterprise IOT 22H2 works with no apparent issues.

I've had this happen before the update as well. 
Yesterday, to be specific.

I'm from Russia.And yesterday I couldn't log in to the game without a VPN.Almost everyone from Russia had the same problem.

That's a separate issue from what I'm referring to.
The entire APB Launcher wasn't functional while trying to launch it. It would generate a "crashed, send log" message box while trying to launch it.
This happened regardless of Steam version of APB or version on site.
