What I found the solution for this problem is to do the following:

  1. Un-install zoom application
  2. Restart computer
  3. Create a new user with admin privileges
  4. Login to new account
  5. Install Zoom application
  6. When prompted for admin credentials please input new user admin credentials
  7. Solved!


The issue is with some sort of corruption to the users profile and creating a new user solves this issue.
