WoW updater stuck on initializing

After today’s update my game will no longer update, this is true for both cata classic, retail and tww beta. It get’s to a random point in the initialization process and just resets and tries again. I’ve done everything from uninstalling and reinstalling (now i can’t see bnet anymore in unistall programs for some reason) to windows+r and deleting all the bnet folders through %programdata%. im lost and dont know why it wont update anymore.

Update: bnet showed up in the uninstall programs feature but im still having the same issues with initalization

2nd Edit: After uninstalling bnet 2nd time, although this happened during the first as well, after attempting to reinstall i get error code BLZBNTAGT000008FC

3rd edit: For whatever reason when i try to update and download bnet, the updater gets to 80ish percent then the bar goes down to 65%, after my friend helped me out we noticed the bnet update agent closes itself (on task manager) around that point and when it reopens it goes back down and tries to reinstall, we dont know what else to do

4th edit: ive gone through my temp and local data and removed any blizzard/battlenet folders to attempt to try to fix the updater issue, did not work, updater agent closing and opening might be a red herring but im done trying til i get a response. Maybe im a ff player now shrug.

Fixed: i had to go through all my temp files local files and programdata and remove all files related to bnet and blizzard. Then i had to go through my registry and search all bnet and blizzard entries and remove them. i highly do not reccomend this if you arent good with computers as it can brick your system, just relaying what worked for me.

I am having the same issue and I can’t figure out what to do as I’ve tried every solution I could google. Going on two hours now its just initializing and not installing

Battle.net application : The logo in the upper right corner is just spinning. Yellow Notice triangle : Attempting to reconnect. Game version and account : both accounts show as (??)

UPDATE: Ran the Battle.net repair utility and went to bed. Woke up this morning to check on this forum : lo and behold, Battle.net launcher is back to a functional state and account names have returned.

Hope this helps you in some way.

After doing some investigations theres no possible way this is on my end, ive downloaded other games like ff14 and steam, both work fine for me, i either get oops this is broken or the bnet updater gets to halfway stops then the progress bar goes the other way i genuinely dont understand whats happening
