I have a MVC web application on .Net. I need to migrate there to desktop. However I would like to keep my application with Web Views.
I know that for Android app and IOS it is possible to reuse the screens if they have been developed in HTML5.
Is there any way to keep my Web Views for desktop platform.

Even if possible, I advise against developing a native Windows application with Web Views only - this leads to a bad user experience.
Instead, if the goal is to let users use the application on their computer without internet access, I advise you to install the website on the user’s local computer, and the user can access the site through the localhost.
Instead of hosting the site on IIS, try using Nancy for self-hosting. So the end user does not need to have IIS installed.
For example, I recently used Plex (to stream media). Plex installs a small server on your computer, and then you can manage the app via http://localhost:32400/web.

I would look at the code of Atom — it is all HTML + CSS + Javascript. You’ll need to do something to run a local backend, but you can use the Atom idea as a GUI for that local server.
