web view blink issue

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

WebView page blink may be an animation issue. You can try to disable the transition animation between pages to solve.

MyFrame.Navigate(typeof(WebViewPage), null, new SuppressNavigationTransitionInfo());

---

If you like page animation, you can try another method:

Create the WebView in code-behind

protected async override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    view = new WebView(WebViewExecutionMode.SameThread);
    MyGrid.Children.Add(view);
    var file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/MyPage.html"));
    string content = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file);
    view.NavigateToString(content);
}

It can also fix the problem of page blink, you can choose as needed.

Thanks
