    Unable to install, uninstall, or start WhatsApp on Windows Desktop 10


    The WhatsApp icon is greyed out in my start menu and has an exclamation point next to it.When it stopped working again, I tried the above again, but now it doesn’t work. I tried downloading the installer from the WhatsApp site, but it failed and redirected me to the Microsoft Store, where it failed again. The error in the Microsoft Store says, “It is our problem, and we are looking into it” or something very similar. I tried installing Solitaire from the Microsoft Store, and it works fine. So, the problem is not in the Microsoft Store.Uninstalling also fails and the error code is 0x80073cfa.&n

    :)

  3. The latest version of WhatsApp failed to install

    If you're experiencing difficulties installing the latest version of WhatsApp Desktop on your office desktop PC and have already tried various troubleshooting steps, here are a few additional suggestions that might help: 1. Clear the App Cache: Press the Windows key + I to open the Windows Settings, then go to "Apps" > "Apps & features." Search for WhatsApp Desktop in the list, click on it, and select "Advanced options." Under "Reset," click the "Reset" button to clear the app's cache. Restart your computer and try reinstalling WhatsApp Desktop. 2. Disable Antivirus/Firewall: Temporarily disable your antivirus software and any firewall settings on your office desktop PC. Sometimes, these security measures can interfere with the installation process. After disabling them, attempt to install WhatsApp Desktop again. 3. Check System Requirements: Verify that your office desktop PC meets the system requirements for the latest version of WhatsApp Desktop. Ensure that your Windows 10 operating system is up to date with the latest updates and patches. 4. Download from Official Source: Instead of installing WhatsApp Desktop through the Microsoft Store, try downloading the installer directly from the official WhatsApp website (https://www.whatsapp.com/download) and install it manually. 5. Contact WhatsApp Support: If none of the above steps work, reach out to WhatsApp support directly. They can provide more specific guidance and assistance with the installation issue. Remember to re-enable your antivirus software and firewall after troubleshooting to maintain system security.
