Hey @Semerale, thank you for reaching out!

Let’s try a few steps to resolve this:



  1. Fully uninstall the Figma app from your device.

  2. Search for any files related to the Figma app on your device and delete them.

  3. Download the app again from this link and try reinstalling: Figma Downloads | Web Design App for Desktops & Mobile


Can also try installing the Beta version of the Figma app from this link: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/5601429983767-Guide-to-the-Figma-desktop-app#h_01HE5QD60EB0BSA7TF902SB805


Lastly, here’s a forum post with a workaround suggested by a community member that might help: *EASY FIX* Figma app Installation has failed (Windows)


If none of these steps resolve the problem, let me know, and I can create a support ticket and forward your logs to the team for further investigation.
