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

hey John, took all of your steps and got progress, but stuck at the update screen now, it wouldn't complete the update. On the system requirement tab, it says 'couldn't detect hardware' also I'm on a windows 10 pro, i don't think i have to update my windows version yet again, what do you suggest at this point?
