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

    Here is a workaround: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/4881#issuecomment-2480939942

    The problem is the Windows App SDK, used to create modern native Windows apps like Whatsapp on the Microsoft store. The team said it's working on a solution.

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

    option 3: (best one) just download this and install > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads

    Mines all fixed, I downloaded the latest x64 stable installer (1.6.3) from here, then re-installed WhatsApp and all is working on my pc again.

    Latest downloads for the Windows App SDK - Windows apps | Microsoft Learn

    Should work for everyone.
