    I had the same issue and this article does not help.  I cannot log in so therefore cannot use the profile icon.  When I downloaded using the link, I still encountered the same issue.  I am a private, paid user that does not have an IT department.  Any suggestions would be appreciated as I have already had to cancel two meetings today due to this issue.

    Uninstall Zoom from your PC then download and reinstall it, that's the only way I've been able to get around this issue but it worked.

    I agree that the article does not help. It doesn't not resemble my site at all. I need to have this up and running by the end of the day today! I am my IT department. Come on Zoom! What is going on???

    I tired the download links and they don't work. Before I can execute the download I have to sign in. It tells me I can't sign in until I update. PLEASE ZOOM -- FIND A SOLUTION!

    Hi @janetwall are you on windows or macOS? If you already have the Zoom desktop client installed, to check for updates as stated in the KB Upgrading Zoom to the latest version first, you will need to Sign in to Zoom desktop client.

    Hi @nextstep @janetwall @silo20 when you say you are unable to log-in/sign-in, what methods are you using to sign into the Zoom client? Are you prompt any specific error codes?

    Hi @nextstep gotcha, thank you for the screenshot! This is helpful. 

     

    So, are you an IT admin on the account?

     

    As an Account owner or Admin, you can require users with older versions of the Zoom desktop client or mobile app to update to the specified minimum client versions. This can be applied to only internal users or to include external meeting participants, as well as configured at the group level for granular version requirements across different groups.

     

    This setting is enforced when users try to sign in or start a meeting/webinar. Users will be prompted to update to the specified version before they can sign in or start the meeting/webinar as to what you're experiencing currently. 

     

    This KB on Requiring users to update Zoom should help further clarify

    When I get that message there is nothing to give me the option to update.  There is no reason why I should be required to join from the browser. I get this message upon trying to log into a meeting or start a meeting on my platform

    Cleanzoom worked for me too.  I ran it, restarted, then downloaded zoom again.  Thank you everyone for the tips.

    A solution that works:  Uninstall Zoom from your PC then download and reinstall it, that's the only way I've been able to get around this issue but it worked.  I hope Zoom fixes this update bug as soon as possible.  This was hella inconvenient for my meeting yesterday.

    The Zoom Updater has been hung for the last half hour.  Do not close this window it says, but I have a strong desire to do just that.  Advice?

    OK now.  Just had to open the shield and OK the update.  Who knew?
