    Hi!

    What error do you get when trying to update WhatsApp? Or do you not know how to update it?

    If you don't know how, click the search icon on the taskbar > search for Microsoft Store > click Library > Check for updates. The MS Store will update all available apps, including WhatsApp.

    If you are referring to WhatsApp Web, or if you installed WhatsApp Web as an app via your browser, it cannot be updated like a standard app.

    Try these Windows Store fixes in order:

    1. Sign out of Microsoft Store, then sign back in.
    2. Reset the Store cache:
      • Press Windows + R
      • Run wsreset.exe -i
      • Wait for Microsoft Store to reopen.
    3. Reset the Microsoft Store app:
      • Open Start
      • Search Microsoft Store
      • Select App settings
      • Choose Terminate, then Repair, then Reset.
    4. Check the Microsoft Store Install Service:
      • Press Windows + S and type services.msc
      • Open Services
      • Find Microsoft Store Install Service
      • If it is running, restart it
      • If it is disabled, set it to Automatic, then start it.
    5. If the Store is stuck on Pending or Downloading 0.0 KB, check that Windows Update and BITS are running, because Store downloads depend on them.
    6. Re-register Microsoft Store in PowerShell (Admin): 
         Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    7. Restart the PC and try updating WhatsApp again.

    If the app still does not update, it can also be an issue from the app developer side.
