I'm wondering also as my Office Products are crashing and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with it.
My ACADE 2023 is crashing as well and it makes the Outlook crash as well. Mine has 4 different instances of Microsoft Edge Webview2 in Task Manager under the AutoCAD Electrical app. The only fix so far is to reboot.
I'm not crashing and I generally see up to 8 instances running. They also set there and chatter (1 to 2% CPU) with absolutely no drawings loaded and the application minimized to the task bar. They also consume wildly varying amounts of memory: 0.1MB to 39MB!
It would be nice if AutoDesk would tell us why they are there.

They may not know as it does not appear to be affecting most or all 2023 users from what I have observed in these forums and others. For example, no one in our offices is affected, but that's just a small snapshot.
Is everyone that is experiencing this issue reporting it to Autodesk? This forum is not that sadly, you have to make an effort to do it here https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback
AND
by opening a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to seek out Autodesk Support's help: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/customer-service/account-management/users-software/support-options/we...
HTH
put in a support ticket ...

This option is no longer working. My solution is to kill all instances of msedgewebview2 in task/process manager after Autocad launch, this will turn of all unnecessary notification & stop affecting the work.
AutoCAD 2024 "REQUIRES Webview2" to authenticate, per AutoDesk support. We can still kill the process in Task Mgr but why is this even a thing AutoDesk? It ran really smoothly when I disabled it per above, then 2024 would message me about software not authenticated and forces me to quit. Now Webview2 is again running in typical bloatware fashion in MS apps and AutoCad is slow again, even with Webview killed in the AutoCad sub-processes. I suggest putting off upgrading to 2024 as long as possible.
