White screen after updating Whatsapp #4951

Open dfandrew opened 3 years ago

dfandrew commented 3 years ago

I updated 'whatsapp' on 2.2039.9 but when I start the program I see only a white screen.

maxerium commented 3 years ago

Can confirm this - just installed WhatsApp through scoop and all I have is a white screen.

shayvt commented 3 years ago

Same issue here.

dfandrew commented 3 years ago

Same problem with 2.2041.6 version.

PS to future posters: There's no need to keep bumping an issue once it has been confirmed a few times. It just creates unnecessary notifications for those watching this repository.

shayvt commented 3 years ago

Same issue in the latest version - 2.2041.7

I looked at the the Event Viewer in the System logs and found this each time I opened whatsapp:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} and APPID {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402} to the user ***** from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

I tried to follow this tutorial: https://www.itexperience.net/event-id-10016-fix-the-application-specific-permission-settings-do-not-grant-local-activation-permission-for-the-com-server-application-with-clsid/ But issue persists with the same error.

I had the same issue and I've worked around it by changing the shortcut from <drive>\scoop\apps\whatsapp\current\Whatsapp.exe to <drive>\scoop\apps\whatsapp\2.2049.10\Whatsapp.exe

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Problem and above mentioned workaround persist in version 2.2147.16.

rashil2000 commented 2 years ago

There's one (ugly) way to solve this - by modifying the created shortcut to replace 'current' with the '$version' in post_install. Refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/534409. I don't use WhatsApp from Scoop myself, but PRs welcome!

I still experience this issue with the latest whatsapp from the latest scoop and had to bounce back to choco to get around it.

Cornelius-Figgle commented 1 year ago

I still have this problem in version 2.2325.3, running Whatsapp.exe directly from the ~\scoop\apps\whatsapp\2.2325.3\ directory produces the same. Am currently using the Microsoft Store version (which I would rather not as it uses the new framework or whatever and is incredibly slow)

@Cornelius-Figgle I still experience this too.

@rashil2000 Could this issue be reopened? Or would it be preferable to open a new issue?
