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

2024-11-17T11:30:05+00:00 I did not note which update it was. Was one of the latest that I received around thursday-friday. I remember it was a security update. I didn't remove the latest servicing stack.
You can remove updates from update history.

This seems to be a bad Windows update?

2024-11-17T11:17:17+00:00 someone from ms really messed up with these november-patchday-patches.
after about one week after the november-patchday the store is slowly healing from 0x80073cf9-Bug. powerautomate, whatsapp, skype, ... are working again. only inkscape is still broken.
