Technical Error 132

[Shakums]

So this game has ran great for a year until today. I tried running it and got error 132. I have tried the following fixes.
- Updating graphic and OS drivers
-Disabling DVR
-Did a file scan
-Disk Defrag
-Resetting UI
-complete reinstall
The only thing that seems to get it to run is opening it in compatibility mode, but I cant stay connected to the server more than 5 seconds without getting disconnected. I kind of feel like I have exhausted all my options trying to solve it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

Straight from Blizzard, they state;

"According to Blizzard, Error 132 is a generic error code that may be caused by out-of-date add-ons, corrupted files, incompatible drivers, or hardware issues.”

Newer hardware has issues with this specific client...What addons, if any, do you have? Have you tried just deleting addons?

So first thing first, what are you pc specs? What OS are you on?

My specs are
Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX
16gigs ram
Rtx 3080
I only installed the client from this website. I haven't added anything extra. I'll try deleting the addons and see if it works.

Unfortunately none of the fixes worked. Thanks for trying to help

I'll try running it again in compatability mode. It works when running it that way, except for getting kicked 5 seconds into logging into the server. Hopefully it won't do that again

I've been having error 132 for a few days. I deleted wow and formatted the PC. downloaded wow from the site all over again and installed everything again. no addons or external programs. nothing at all. windows and wow new and clean. no way. the error still appears. sometimes I have the character connected to the server but I see everything stopped around me and people are running in place but I'm online in a certain sense. I can't use spells or mount but others always see me online. I don't know how to solve it also because none of the suggestions here on the forum or around the net seem to work.
