Microsoft WebClient is Discontinued. How to Keep Your System Running?
The Edit Any Document Protocol App (v2-v5) on Windows was relying on Microsoft WebClient Windows Service, that is discontinued and will be removed in future Windows updates. Even though WebClient Windows Service is still functioning, this means if you are using our Document Opener Protocol Application, supplied with WebDAV Ajax Library v2-v5 it will eventually stop working and documents would not open from your web pages.
To keep you system running and opening documents from web pages we recommend upgrading to WebDAV Drive App, supplied with WebDAV Ajax Library v6+. The new version is build on top of our User File System and Windows Cloud Filter API and does not rely on WebClient. It also does not utilize any Mini-redirector driver components or commands.
The new version implements many OneDrive features, such as offline mode, on-demand loading offline mode, on-demand loading and provides familiar Windows Explorer integration. See comparison of WebDAV Drive App and Edit Any Document Protocol App in this article.
