c# WebView2 user directory "Access Denied"

I am having issues with the .NET WebView2 control. I thought I had it fixed but it is not working. I have read numerous posts to no avail.

I have a WPF C# application that runs on a server. Various people log into the server via a web browser and run the app.

Within this app, I open up a WebView2 browser, setting the user data directory to a unique directory for each person.

When I set the user data directory and call EnsureCoreWebView2Async(), I get an error in the exception code "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).

Below is the code:

public static async void InitializeWebView(WebView2 browser, string path){   Directory.CreateDirectory(path);   browser.CreationProperties = new CoreWebView2CreationProperties()   {      UserDataFolder = path   };   try   {      await browser.EnsureCoreWebView2Async();   }   catch( Exception ex)   {      Log.LogString("Ensure error: " + ex.Message);   }}

I have tried various things without success. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
