not able to launch zoom meeting in my PC

I was using zoom without any issues but one fine day it stopped working in my PC.

But same time its working in my mobile

I reinstalled zoom still not working.

 

Not working means - I used to get links for meetings (earlier it was working) after clicking the links a live lesson window will appear and if I press join button, a new widow will appear and within a fraction of second it disappears.

 

Even if i try to create a new meeting same thing happens

 

please solve the issue

It sounds like Zoom might be facing compatibility issues on your PC. Try these steps:

  1. Update Zoom & Windows – Ensure both are up to date.
  2. Check Firewall & Antivirus – They might be blocking Zoom.
  3. Run Zoom as Administrator – Right-click the Zoom icon and select Run as administrator.
  4. Clear Cache – Delete Zoom’s cache files from your PC.
  5. Try Web Version – If the desktop app isn’t working, use Zoom in a browser.

Sometimes, troubleshooting tech is like finding the perfect menu item—try different options and explore what works best!

  3. Run Zoom as Administrator – Right-click the Zoom icon and select Run as administrator.

  5. Try Web Version – If the desktop app isn’t working, use Zoom in a browser.

Zoom issues like this can be frustrating but don’t worry, here are a few things to try:

  • Update Zoom and your Windows OS to the latest version.

  • Clear Zoom cache from C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\Zoom.

  • Temporarily disable antivirus/firewall to see if it’s blocking Zoom.

  • Run Zoom as Administrator — sometimes that makes all the difference.

  • If all else fails, try Zoom’s web version via browser as a quick fix.
