I'm running chrome on ubuntu 16.04
Whatsapp web seems to have stopped working on the desktop. The QR code flashes on the screen for what looks like 1 frame before disappearing to leave only the whatsapp logo.

In search, I have found answers suggesting socks proxy settings. When I go to settings->network->Network Proxy, the Method is set to None.

I also tired deleting all the PC sessions on my android device.

I have also tried killing all the chrome processes.

I have not tried rebooting yet.

I was having the same problem and was able to fix it by going into Settings → Advanced and disabling hardware acceleration.
