Windows 10: WhatsApp on Windows10

I've had whatsapp on my desktop for ages. All of a sudden I got an error mesage saying it wasn't working and that I wold need to uninstall and re-install. I tried closing down and restarting but the problem persisted so I uninstalled. But when I go to re-install it, it's telling me that it's already installed. I closed down and re-opened but that hasn't helped.I've checked the control panel and it's not there so I'm stumped !Help !!!! Please ?

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
