Here is the current conversation on the MIDS Discord. If you can think of anything, I'm happy to try. Thanks for your time.

Yes, indeed.
It has to be something with CoH since it only started after the recent patch. I've been running MIDS and CoH simultaneously for a long time.

This is most puzzling. You probably should call hc support as well.
Completely random things to try:
After mids is started, kill edge webview subprocesses:
taskkill /f /im msedgewebview2.exe
Try running coh in windowed/borderless window modes.
Kinda running on empty with this case 🤷

Doesnt the HC Launcher also use edge webview?
I have not seen this and Mids is always open when I am in CoX, but I run in borderless 95% of the time.

Are you running CoX at a different resolution than your desktop’s native 2500x1600?
— Today at 2:06 PM
Running CoX at different resolution for sure but will need to check setting when I get home tonight.
Will try the taskkill then as well.
Also discovered that if I run then close MIDS then run CoX, exiting has the same problem.
Will also contact HC support tonight.

Is the 3/4 range you mentioned with mouse proportional to the resolution difference between desktop and game? I.e, are you running CoX at… 1920x1200? That’s darn close to 3/4

Yes, 1920 x 1200 is the setting.

Tried the taskkill in the CMD window in both the MIDS folder and the C:\users... folder after the problem occurred and got this both times: ERROR: The process "msedgewebview2.exe" not found.

With CoX in windowed mode, ran MIDS, closed both, no problem.
