Windows 10: WhatsApp Desktop not updating the messages feed

I have WhatsApp desktop and always worked fine but after running a deep scan on the Windows Security it fixed 5 issues, it's not updating the message feed at all. My mobile version is perfectly fine but it seems like both apps are not synchronized. I uninstalled the desktop app and installed again but with the same results.


I'm guessing Windows Security blocked some "live feed" option or port... I don't know... please help.

Thank you!

Unable to scroll a long message in WhatsApp while typing

Ok, I just updated whatsapp but it's still the same, unable to scroll the message.
I'm not sure how to "clear the cache", I don't think it would help either.
My mom has never been able to scroll in a long message that she's typing.
It's just that you CAN scroll a message on android and it just does not work on a windows phone somehow.

 

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

Ok, I will check for an update.
It's with WhatsApp only.
Clearing cache, ok I'll check that.
