Not working WhatsApp Desktop in Windows 11 beta version
After start using the Windows 11 Beta Version, I cannot open the WhatsApp Desktop App in Microsoft Office. Is that a bug or error. Please help me out. Please comment your opinion if you are getting WhatsApp Desktop App in Microsoft Office
- Simply update or Microsoft store and reinstall WhatsApp from there or you can download WhatsApp desktop from its website and run the setup mine is working now without any issues

- humanconnectionnottechCopper ContributorIn my opinion Whatsapp is not a safe app. people have been able to send bots into my account and while talking to someone who I thought was my friend on the whatsapp they were able to phish my account. I deleted it and want nothing to do with it. Any app that wont let you just log in with a email etc. but needs you to scan a code with your phones personal camera is a huge red flag and lesson learned for me.

Abraham_C_B even I had the same problem, I uninstalled the app and again installed but it didn't work. After that I tried to repair it but again it was not opening. So, I visited the WhatsApp website page (https://www.whatsapp.com/download) and downloaded it from there and hence, it stated working.
- eeell1804Copper ContributorReally sorry, WhatsApp WEB does not work with my Win11 PC (it does work on my laptop with win10) , I tried all your suggestions including uninstalling and installing only from MS store, it launches but nothing happens after I try to read barcode.
Just to remind again , it does work with win10. - vbhavwakle970Copper ContributorBy downloading Whatsapp from official website issue is resolved now working fine. thank you guyz

Abraham_C_B Hi Friends now the problems were solved. Now Whatsapp Desktop is running from Microsoft Store.

Abraham_C_B I am having the same issue.
I can un-install then re-install and it will function for as long as my computer is switched on.
When I boot it up again and try to launch WhatsApp nothing happens, unless I un-install and re-install it again.
This is from the WhatsApp website so will try the Microsoft Store version.- Munro_NutritionCopper Contributor

Follow-up: Same issue with MS Store version- Munro_NutritionCopper ContributorAnother follow-up
I can launch WhatsApp, but I need to open the MS Store every time and hit the open button from there. It opens and works no problem, I just can't open it from anywhere else.
- JohnStroeCopper ContributorI've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times from the one listed on the Microsoft store, that didn't work. But immediately after I reinstalled it from the official WhatsApp website, it worked. So, reinstall it from the official WhatsApp website and it should work perfectly! I'm a little late, but if you haven't already figured it out, hope this helps! 🙂
- sumita904Copper ContributorEven I tried the same and it's working fine.
