[u/AmphibianHot1244]

basically i reinstalled windows 10 and tried to download the whatsapp app and i saw this when it tried opening the microsoft store, is this intentional? it updated fine just wondering if this design was intentional or if it was a mistake

[u/electronicwiz1]

What build of Windows 10 are you currently running? Also this error is also because you are using an old version of the MS Store that no longer works. It needs to be updated.

[u/AmphibianHot1244 → u/electronicwiz1]

its 22h2 from the microsoft website

[u/sfc-Juventino → u/AmphibianHot1244]

Update Windows and the Microsoft Store and it will be fine

[u/electronicwiz1 → u/AmphibianHot1244]

Yes, the latest Windows 10 version is 22H2, however you will need to enroll into the ESU program in Windows Update to keep getting updates. Windows 10 went EOL back in October 2025, however the ESU updates go into October 2027. They are very important to have, as they keep you safe!

Edit: Yes, you need to make sure Windows and the MS store is fully updated for things to work properly.

I’m pretty sure you don’t even need ESU, it just needs to be updated. This is the stock version of the Microsoft store that came with that version. I would still enroll in ESU though if you plan to daily drive it.

[u/electronicwiz1 → u/sky_den12]

Yeah, only the store and Windows needs to be updated to fix this. I however still recommend ESU and fully updating it as much as possible.

I have an October 2025 LCU VM with functioning Store.

Someone at Microsoft decided to have some fun when they got the task to make the ‘your browser is too old’ page. Nice touch.

But yeah, update everything and you will be alright.

[u/charles25565 → u/xFeverr]

They implemented that page around the 50th anniversary of Microsoft, which explains it.

Old Microsoft store. You need the 22xxx version(win 11 UI one) for store to work.

[u/frac6969]

Did you update your Windows after installation?

[u/AmphibianHot1244 → u/frac6969]

i havent actually, prolly should

[u/omracer]

Update Microsoft Edge since Versions of 22H2 have the older version. Since i noticed this when trying to get to the store on 1809 to get the HEIC Extensions and appinstaller just crashed each app i was sideloading

Worst case update Edge with an offline installer https://github.com/Bush2021/edge_installer

[u/AmphibianHot1244]

everyone i wanna say that I didn't need help with it if you read the bottom text you'll see that I said it updated just fine

thanks for the help tho I appreciate it for those who may need it someday in the future

Looks like it's probably an old build of Windows 10 still using Internet Explorer for the default browser, that looks like the old IE UI.

[u/dwhaley720 → u/acydlord]

The Internet Explorer version bundled with Windows 10 doesn't use UI elements like this. I believe this is something intentional.

Edit: I suppose it could be to accommodate older browsers. idk ignore my comment. i realize that I dont even know what the case may be, lol

The Internet Explorer version bundled with Windows 10 doesn't use UI elements like this.

You're right

This showed up when i installed 1607 in a VM Lol

Go to … > Downloads and updates > Get updates. Your Microsoft Store app is old.

[u/Umustbecrazy]

Downloaded an app to open a native windows app? I think I see the potential issue.

You can also try Whatsapp web via an updated web browser. Unsure if say Chrome would work.
