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

    I followed all the above steps, and I still receive the attached response on Stores. It appears to be a Microsoft issue. I also uninstalled my Microsoft software and reinstalled it to no avail. Microsoft needs to issue a patch.
