    I wrote a simple test program to load a URL in a QWebEngineView. The program works on Mac; the browser pops up and I can see the webpage. But on Windows 7, the browser window never appears after I call show():

    import sys
    
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
    from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
    from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
    
    class Browser(QWebEngineView):
        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__()
            self.loadProgress.connect(print)
            self.load(QUrl('https://google.com'))
            self.loadFinished.connect(self.pageReady)
    
        def pageReady(self, success):
            if success:
                self.resize(640, 480)
                self.show()
            else:
                print('page failed to load')
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        browser = Browser()
        app.exec_()
    

    Using self.loadProgress.connect(print), I verified that the page does reach 100% progress -- but the browser window never appears. My firewall is disabled, so there shouldn't be a connection problem.

    I'm on Windows 7, using PyQt5 (5.12.1), PyQt5-sip (4.19.15), and PyQtWebEngine (5.12.1). I installed them by running:
    pip install pyqt5
    pip install PyQtWebEngine
    I did not install Qt separately.
    I also tried PyQt5 5.12 without success.

      @freethewall Did you verify that pageReady is called?

        Yes, it is called, with success=True.
