Apps on HoloLens use either 2D view or holographic view. Apps that use 2D view look like windows and can be positioned all around you. Apps that use holographic view surround you and become the only app you see.
There is a new version of the Microsoft Store app for the HoloLens 2. This app update occurs seamlessly when the Microsoft Store app itself is updated. When the update is complete, you see a storefront similar to the store app that is available on desktop. Since this update is an app update it is distributed to all HoloLens 2 devices, regardless of OS version.
Much of the store's functionality is the same; however some placement of items or changes in icons occurred. One such instance is that the see more button "..." was removed. To find your apps and updates, use the Library button.
Open the Microsoft Store from the Start menu. Then browse for apps and games. You can use voice commands to search by saying "Search", once the search window opens say "Start dictating" and then when prompted begin saying your search terms.
The System Requirements for HoloLens devices are based on the architecture of the app build. If an app build for HoloLens (1st gen) has not been updated with to a newer UWP in the store to include the ARM architecture package, then it will not be available for HoloLens 2 devices. Likewise, if a HoloLens 2 app does not include the x86 architecture package, it will not be available for HoloLens (1st gen) devices. HoloLens device architectures:
To download apps, you must be signed in with a Microsoft account. Some apps are free and can be downloaded right away. For apps that require a purchase, you must be signed in to the Store with your Microsoft account and have a valid payment method.
The account you use on Microsoft Store doesn't have to be the same as the account you are signed in with. If you are using a Work or School account on your HoloLens then you may need to sign in with your personal account in the Store App to make a purchase.
While apps from the Microsoft Store are kept up to date automatically by the device, sometimes you may want to manually check for updates to get those app updates sooner. This step can be done from either the Settings app or the Microsoft Store app.
Want to know what version an app is on? From the Library screen select an app installed on your device to go to that apps page, and scroll to the bottom and look for >_ Installed version.
If the apps on your device were distributed by your organization they can be updated through the same commercial app management methods. If this applies to your situation, read more via our overview of commercial app deployment.
If you would like to update a custom app that has been sideloaded or deployed, you will need to use the same method with the updated version of your app. To learn more about installing and running custom apps, read custom holographic applications.
Automatic updates apply to Microsoft Store apps, and they can be updated automatically only if they have been installed directly from the Store or installed using the store package via Intune. If installed from Intune using a private package, IT can push updates down from MDM.
Automatic app updates are scheduled to occur daily subject to network availability. These updates occur approximately every 24 hours, although updates per device can be random. Keep your device either active or plugged into AC to receive updates. Even if app updates are downloaded during active daily usage, they will only be applied when the app to be updated is no longer in use.
IT administrators can control automatic app updates through the ApplicationManagement/AllowAppStoreAutoUpdate policy. This policy allows them to enable or disable automatic app updates completely, but it does not control when updates occur.
As of 21H2, IT administrators can also use the ScheduleForceRestartForUpdateFailures policy to control when apps that were in use, but could not be updated in previous attempts, should be forcibly restarted.
WhatsApp Web does not work with Firefox 47.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit OS. I have tried making it work after disabling the add-ons and restarting Firefox in safe mode, yet this did not resolve the issue either. I am not even presented the QR code as you can see in the following screenshot this is what I get when I go to WhatsApp Web. However, on my office desktop PC which also runs the same Windows OS and the same Firefox version, this page loads correctly. What might be the problem?
Okay I got the problem resolved without messing with add-ons, plug-ins, history, bookmarks and sync features by just displaying Troubleshooting Information from the menu to the right of the Firefox. Then I opened the profile folder from there and deleted the prefs.js file to have it refreshed. When I launched the browser again all my settings were gone, but I was able to log into WhatsApp Web.
Try go Help>Troubleshooting information and click on the safe mode restart firefox without add-on. After login whatsapp on safe mode just restart your firefox back with add-on and it should be logged in.
If Waterfox simply goes to WhatsApp Web or a "normal" reload command is issued, Whatsapp works with Mozilla FIrefix 30+ page pops back up. It also obviously happpens when Waterfox just launches and loads WhatsApp Web. In general, browsers load/reload pages from cache, so forcing a network reload with CTRL + F5 seems to reliably bypasse cache, therefore, bypassing the issue.

WhatsApp (officially WhatsApp Messenger) is an instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by technology conglomerate Meta.[14] It allows users to send text, voice messages and video messages,[15] make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content.[16][17] WhatsApp's client application runs on mobile devices, and can be accessed from computers.[18] The service requires a cellular mobile telephone number to sign up.[19] In January 2018, WhatsApp released a standalone business app called WhatsApp Business which can communicate with the standard WhatsApp client.[20][21]
The service was created by WhatsApp Inc. of Mountain View, California, which was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$19.3 billion.[22][23] It became the world's most popular messaging application by 2015,[24][25] and had more than 2 billion users worldwide by February 2020,[26] confirmed four years later by new 200M registrations per month.[27] By 2016, it had become the primary means of Internet communication in regions including Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, and large parts of Europe and Africa.[24]
WhatsApp was founded in February 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, former employees of Yahoo! A month earlier, after Koum purchased an iPhone, he and Acton decided to create an app for the App Store. The idea started off as an app that would display statuses in a phone's Contacts menu, showing if a person was at work or on a call.[63]
Their discussions often took place at the home of Koum's Russian friend Alex Fishman in West San Jose. They realized that to take the idea further, they would need an iPhone developer. Fishman visited RentACoder.com, found Russian developer Igor Solomennikov, and introduced him to Koum.[63]
Koum named the app WhatsApp to sound like "what's up". On February 24, 2009, he incorporated[64] WhatsApp Inc. in California. However, when early versions of WhatsApp kept crashing, Koum considered giving up and looking for a new job. Acton encouraged him to wait for a "few more months".[63]
