 Problem description:

WhatsApp won't load on my laptop. It worked absolutely fine until a couple days ago. When I try to open it, it gives me the following loading screen and just hangs there:



Attempted fixes:

Googled to try to find a fix. Restarted. Uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp several times. When I reinstall and clear the login from my phone (iPhone 6S), it will create a QR code for me to scan, but when I do it just brings me back to the same loading screen above.

Recent changes:

None.

Operating system:

Windows 10 64-bit.

System specs:

Lenovo G70-80 80FF, i5-5200U, 16 GB RAM.

Location:

USA

I have Googled and read the FAQ:

Yes

 I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling WhatsApp to a different directory on the computer.
