#Windows + ms-settings: from a Tauri based app

Hi folks

We’re building a non-UWP Tauri app (WebView2) and trying to open Windows Settings as part of a permission-recovery UX. We’ve tried:

  • shell.open("ms-settings:privacy-webcam")
  • shell.open("ms-settings:")
  • plugin-opener vs plugin-shell
  • dev vs prod builds

The call succeeds silently but Settings never opens, even though the same URI works from Edge / Win+R.

Is this a known Windows trust/privilege limitation for non-UWP desktop apps, even when using WebView2?

at least with the opener plugin it works for me
