The startup fails. Installed using Admin rights. Can the logging be increased?

Adjusting the whatsapp path in the config file does not work either.

I've then uninstalled the app and download the classic implementation. After reinstalling the Whatsapp Tray it worked fine ;-)

In your first post it looks like you use in the lnk is no paht to WhatsApp

In you second post i guess (from the path) you use the WhatsApp-Version from WindowsStore. I have never tried if this works. Pleas try downloading WhatsApp-Desktop from the Website

With the normal desktop install it works nicely. The App seems to require different handling. Shall i close the issue or do you want to keep it as a future enhancement request?

I did not read that... I will close as i do not plan to support the windwosStore version for now
