  1. How to install WhatsApp on a new PC


    I installed WhatsApp Desktop on my old PC. Note! NOT WhatsApp Web ! Of course I want to have it on the new one now. But every time I try to get it from Microsoft Store the process states that "You own this app", and the INSTALL button is greyed out. I deleted it from the old PC, and I've cleared browsing history and DNS cache several times. Also several restarts as I set up the new PC. I have an iphone but I deleted the Linked Device on there too. The one from the previous PC app. But I still get that message. Perhaps I should mention that the new PC has a LOCAL account, but the old one h

    No Whatsapp Mic

    W10
    Whatsapp text works fine but I can't get audio out to work.
    Have been through all the "how to" help and can't find a microphone to turn on for Whatsapp.

    Thank you.

    Ok, let's try another approach.
    This is a new ASUS laptop and I am new to W10.

    It is not just Whatsapp; I cant get the microphone to work on other apps either.
    I've been through all the steps with privacy, camera, connecting apps and I guess a few others.
    There must be some simple enable step I'm missing.

    Well, persistence does pay off. I followed some instructions to check for needed driver updates with My Asus and yes, there were newer versions for audio and camera.
    I installed them and all is well.
    Funny thing is checking in Device Manager I was told I had the latest of everything.
    So I learned something new this evening.

  3. The latest version of WhatsApp failed to install

    If you're experiencing difficulties installing the latest version of WhatsApp Desktop on your office desktop PC and have already tried various troubleshooting steps, here are a few additional suggestions that might help: 1. Clear the App Cache: Press the Windows key + I to open the Windows Settings, then go to "Apps" > "Apps & features." Search for WhatsApp Desktop in the list, click on it, and select "Advanced options." Under "Reset," click the "Reset" button to clear the app's cache. Restart your computer and try reinstalling WhatsApp Desktop. 2. Disable Antivirus/Firewall: Temporarily disable your antivirus software and any firewall settings on your office desktop PC. Sometimes, these security measures can interfere with the installation process. After disabling them, attempt to install WhatsApp Desktop again. 3. Check System Requirements: Verify that your office desktop PC meets the system requirements for the latest version of WhatsApp Desktop. Ensure that your Windows 10 operating system is up to date with the latest updates and patches. 4. Download from Official Source: Instead of installing WhatsApp Desktop through the Microsoft Store, try downloading the installer directly from the official WhatsApp website (https://www.whatsapp.com/download) and install it manually. 5. Contact WhatsApp Support: If none of the above steps work, reach out to WhatsApp support directly. They can provide more specific guidance and assistance with the installation issue. Remember to re-enable your antivirus software and firewall after troubleshooting to maintain system security.
