For those who don't want to play with powershell, admin privileges etc etc.

Simply open Microsoft Store, click My Library (bottom left), click Get Updates (top right). That's it.

    It still isn't working for me. Tried all the color themes and no luck.

    Win 11 -> Settings -> Personalize -> Themes -> Contrast themes -> (On drop down menu pick anything but "None")

    Won't work if you just change the color.

    Works fine on 2 machines (laptop and desktop) with win10. Does not work (URLs not clickable) on a laptop with win11. Both win10 computers have nvidia graphics cards, win11 laptop - intel XE Iris, so might be something like a bug in graphics driver. The only way I could make it working on win11 was switching to high-contrast theme, but I am not a big fan of those themes...

    Official advice to reset multiple times just shifts the blame to the user. With this many users reporting problems, it isn't a user issue; it's an app issue.

    If resetting works for you, great. But the user is not the issue. The app is flawed. It worked before. Now it doesn't. They need to fix it. I'm tired of resetting, reinstalling, and reconnecting.

    When you go to messages.google.com you should get a small icon in the right side of the address bar that says 'install'. That should install the official chrome extension and allow it to run like an app and be pinned to the taskbar etc.
