Windows 10: Whatsapp Desktop app not starting potential solution

I had the problem referenced in this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/whatsapp-not-starting/f956c2d2-043c-44eb-abab-70d966484e3f. After trying all the steps suggested by John, I gave up. While trying to solve another issue, I discovered that the problem was caused by my version of Windows. I have Windows 10 Pro N, where "N" stands for "No Media Pack." All versions ending in "N" lack the media pack features, so WhatsApp Desktop won’t work on them.I’ll leave here a link to instructions on how to install the media pack and resolve the issue: https://support.microsoft.

Whatsapp desktop - making a chat / call with no contacts

A friend uses Whatsapp from a phone. I'd like to use whatsapp from my desktop or phone to communicate with them.

I have installed whatsapp on my android phone and have connected the desktop. And am leaving the phone turned on, as directed.

I refused to permit Whatsapp to read my contacts, etc.. I'm not a big facebook fan and know that they share everything everywhere and sell it everywhere.

However, I cannot figure a way to make or even receive a call using whatsapp without using my contacts list.
Is this true or is there something I'm missing. On the desktop app I put in a phone number and it wants to search my contacts, which of course it does not have. After using "Create Group" same thing.

No way to make a call at all with whatsapp if you don't share your contacts with it?

if so, Whatsapp is completely broken for me.

And if so that's fine since I can use Skype or Discord just fine.

Thanks much,
wg
