I have uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom, I have created a new password, I have restarted my computer many times and when I go to create a meeting, once I put the time in, I get the error message 401.  Desperate to get this fixed.

I am on Windows 11

Hello @Cranesbill

 Try this for me, run a clean zoom from this link here and see if this clears up that error.
