However, this event does not currently provide the process id of the failed process. This is particularly problematic when running multiple renderers, it becomes difficult for the application to determine which process to address. + +In this document we describe an extended version of the [ProcessFailedEventArgs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/reference/win32/icorewebview2processfailedeventargs?view=webview2-1.0.2151.40), which includes the process id. This enables the host application to collect additional information about the process failure whether a renderer, GPU, or even the browser process. + +The updated API is detailed below. We'd appreciate your feedback. + +# Description + +The `ICoreWebView2ProcessFailedEventArgs4` interface extends the existing `ProcessFailedEventArgs` to include the process ID of the failed process. This enables applications to: +- Correlate process failures with running process data from the ProcessInfo API +- Collect process-specific diagnostic information for logging and telemetry +- Analyze crash dumps for specific processes +- Better track and respond to failures in multi-renderer scenarios + +The process ID is only available if the process has started and ended unexpectedly. For other failure types where the process was never successfully started, the process ID value will be `0`. + +# Examples + +The following code snippets demonstrate how the updated `ProcessFailedEventArgs` can be used by the host application: + +## Win32 C++ + +```cpp +//!
