Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I have removed Microsoft Webview2 from my machines and prevented it from reinstalling. Every time I open Orca Slicer it prompts me to install webview2, please add a checkbox to the prompt to "Do Not Ask Again".

Alternatively as in BBS, all you have to do is sign-out of your BBL account and BBS will stop trying to load web content and therefore stop prompting to install WebView2

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

A checkbox to disable the prompt to install WebView2 or change the code to only check for WebView2 availability if the application is signed into the users BBL account.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A checkbox to disable the prompt to install WebView2 or change the code to only check for WebView2 availability if the application is signed into the users BBL account.
