Security & Reversal
What 1132 Fixer actually changes on your device, how to undo every change, and the situations where you should pause before running it. What to know first: high.
What this tool may adjust
- Windows: creates (or resets) a local user account named user1 with default password user1.
- Windows: adds user1 to the local Administrators group so Zoom can run under that profile.
- Windows: optionally drops a "Launch Zoom as user1" shortcut on the current user's desktop.
- Windows: launches Zoom Workplace as user1 via Start-Process -Credential.
- macOS: opens a notarized universal .dmg. No new user is created; no group membership is changed.
How to go back
- Windows (GUI): open Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc), select user1, and Delete. Confirm to remove the home profile if prompted.
- Windows (CLI, run as Administrator): net user user1 /delete -- removes the account; the C:\Users\user1 profile may need a separate deletion via System Properties -> Advanced -> User Profiles.
- Windows (shortcut): drag the "Launch Zoom as user1" desktop shortcut to the Recycle Bin to remove the convenience launcher.
- macOS: drag 1132 Fixer.app from /Applications to the Trash. The .dmg image can be ejected and discarded.
Pause before using this if
- Your device is managed by an employer, school, or MDM and you do not have permission to create local administrator accounts.
- You sign in to Windows with a work or school account and local user changes are restricted by group policy.
- You cannot follow the manual removal steps above, or you are uncomfortable running the tool elevated.
- Your operations or security team has not reviewed creating an additional local Administrator on the device.
Good to know
- Default credentials on Windows: user1 / user1. The user is added to the local Administrators group so Zoom can run properly under that profile.
- 1132 Fixer is a workaround, not a guarantee. Zoom Error 1132 behavior varies and the tool may not resolve every case.
