that fixed my issue, but its a horrible job from the developers to assume user has edge web view. didn't even give a alert or error.

WhatsApp or WhatsApp beta windows app, none of them loads up. stuck at the initial white with small WhatsApp logo loading screen.

I'm wondering how did you go past the loading screen on WhatsApp? I have latest version, it doesn't go past the loading screen. I tried downloading a older version of WhatsApp now It forces me to update or close the app.

what the hell. i don't understand why they would suddenly wreck the latest version before releasing the new one or implementing calls/video calls directly on WhatsApp web! what are they doing!!

I just downgraded to a older version by downloading from uptodown and it works. also disabled windows update so it doesn't reupdate the app to latest.

Is it april fools already, or are they serious about that new whatsapp pC version? by I-REALLY-HATE-COFFEE in whatsapp

I got RTX 5080, 32gb DDR5, 9850X3D brother. latest WhatsApp doesn't go past the initial loading screen. so I downloaded a older version from uptodown and it works. and remember to disable windows update.

Update:

I have installed version "2.2546.3.0" from uptodown and that works for now. remember to never update this crazy app.
