Construct content has generally worked fine for years with breakages being very rare, so I think auto-updating is a good default. (Other updates like OS updates or driver updates can always break stuff too - you should always be prepared to do some maintenance!) But if you want to ship a specific browser engine with your app, you still can with WebView2 using "fixed" mode. It's documented in this guide.
Thanks for the link, I didn't know there was already a tutorial for it. Bookmarked.
Yes it is rare but consistent that things just stop working on the web. It happened to me and only with the live browser version, while the NWjs version was still fine.
Though fixing it was easy because I still have a sub, and Construct and I are still around to update it.
