Windows 10: Messenger not opening

So I've been using Win10 version of Messenger for a rather long time now.

I never had a problem until now. About 1 week ago, Messenger just wouldn't open anymore. I press the icon, a window pops up with the Messenger logo, as it always started up, but then simply disappears.
I tried reinstalling the app, didn't work.

I've scanned my PC several times for malware., haven't found any.

Help

Windows 10 Facebook and Messenger app not showing notifications

We appreciate you for providing the information to us.

If the Messenger app doesn't show on the list under Notifications & Actions, it's possible that there are too many apps that are using the push notification. There is a limit to the number of apps you have installed that has push notifications enabled. You
may consider removing other apps that are not in use and check if it helps.

In addition, you can also try to check the Default App for Protocol to prioritize Messenger as the default. To do this, follow the steps listed below:

• Type Default app settings in the Search bar.
• Click Choose default apps by protocol.
• Look for the Messenger app then click on it.
• Restart PC and check if it works.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
