Remarks
The ChannelSearchKind property is CoreWebView2ChannelSearchKind.MostStable by default and environment creation searches for a release channel on the machine from most to least stable using the first channel found. The default search order is: WebView2 Release -> Beta -> Dev -> Canary. Set ChannelSearchKind to CoreWebView2ChannelSearchKind.LeastStable to reverse the search order so that environment creation searches for a channel from least to most stable. If a ReleaseChannels has been provided, environment creation will only search for channels in the set. See CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels for more details on channels. This property can be overridden by the corresponding registry key ChannelSearchKind or the environment variable WEBVIEW2_CHANNEL_SEARCH_KIND. Set the value to 1 to reverse the search order. See CreateAsync(String, String, CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions) for more details on overrides.
