Hey everyone,

I have been using whatsapp on windows from a long time now but yesterday I had a meeting on it and when I tried opening it from my task bar(windows 10), it didn't work and the same with any other method.

One thing I noticed is a semi filled white bar and when I went to the MS store, it showed that it needed an update and when I did try, it was almost complete and then it showed an error with the code: 0x80073cf9.

Please help me.

regards,

fellow window user

    Thanks mate!! guys If you have a big problem, follow the solution "codendone" suggests. If not, go to the microsoft store and update this app >

    and everything will work fine. I only needed to update this app and boom everything back to normal

    Finally! It looks like the latest update to WinAppRuntime.Singleton has solved this issue. You might need to Terminate the app in order to update it individually first, and then you should be able to update the rest of the apps stuck with the error. To Terminate it (or Repair/Reset) go to Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features -> Microsoft Windows App Runtime Singleton -> Advanced options -> Terminate and then click Retry in Microsoft Store and for me it then updated without error.
