Windows 10: can i get hacked by an advertisement on telegram?

i was on a group on telegram, and on there was an advertisement for another telegram group, i pressed on the advertisement and i was able to view the group scroll up and down and look at the messages there but i only viewed it and didnt join the group. is there any risk of malware infecting my device or my telegram, or being hacked by just viewing the group and not joining it? also is there even any risk of being hacked by just joining a telegram group without downloading anything or giving any information?thank you.

Telegram

The Telegram app came from the Microsoft Store which I entered through your www.microsoft.com and downloaded through the Microsoft store.

Here are three options which were provided to take.

1. Open Telegram on your phone
   
2. Go to settings, Devices, Link Desktop
   
3. Scan this image to Login

Telegram app crashes

dictum9 raised an issue with Telegram crashing in Windows 10 . I followed dictum9's entire thread and it seems that the problem was not resolved. I think I have the same problem. I am running Windows 10 version 1809. In my case I open up the Telegram app
and am unable to click on anything on the screen. Instead I end up activating whatever is open in another window behind the Telegram window. It's like the system doesn't see or react to the open Telegram window. If Ijust close the app and restart it off
my Task bar it does not solve the problem. I need to kill the process in Task Manger and re-open Telegram by clicking on the Taskbar icon.

Ant suggestions beyond what was offered to dictum9?

 

Telegram Desktop Social Media

I have download Telegram Desktop to my pc, phone, tablet and soon, my laptop. This social media guarantees total privacy unlike FB and whatsapp. It takes a little getting used to but I already have one group (military) up and running. Having been banned on FB for three times now, for VERY petty things, I think its time to leave there. Telegram looks like it will do what Parley couldn't do - survive.

Anyone here on Telegram?

When signing up they send a code, that's so you can operate Telegram on either laptops, pc's, tablets and phones perfectly, and when clicking on the icon, takes me directly to my homepage. There is no censorship like FB, no information is collected so none shared. And they are so sure of their security, they offer $300,000 to anyone who can hack in.
