I have contacted microsoft support about this issue actually and they are aware that the problem their update brought has created problems for many which has broken HTTP.sys and localhost loopback connections
Your message really helped me. I finally figured out that the issue was actually caused by me blocking Microsoft Edge. After the latest Windows update, that ended up breaking WebView2. Before this update, blocking Edge never caused any problems, so without what you said, I wouldn’t have realized this was the reason.
Thank you so much for your help!
As a person clinging on to Windows 10 for dear life, what does blocking Microsoft Edge bring to the table? I just simply don’t launch it. Unless I get drunk and open it up and do a bing for Chrome
VCC is using an internal browser, so if you are having issues like that it’s either your pc having weird connection issues, else vcc is having weird problems, try to reinstall it.
I know it has been like a year but I still cannot find a solution to this. The common fix people recommend, uninstalling certain Windows updates, doesn’t work for me because I don’t even have the updates KB5066835 or KB5065789 installed. I did remove KB5054156, but that didn’t help either. I also tried deleting the AppData folders, creating the DWORD files in the Parameters folder, reinstalling VCC, and all the other usual fixes people mention. None of them worked. I installed .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0 (x64) and .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0 (x64), and I made sure the firewall allows VCC. Still no change. At this point, VCC refuses to open and only shows a “localhost took too long to respond” error. I just want to upload the avatars I bought, but I’m completely stuck. If anyone knows a solution, please help.
You could try alcom, basically someone didn’t like the creator companion, so they wrote a different but compatible version. The website should explain it in better detail.
