WHY

FIX

Unplug accessories (soundbar/HDMI hubs) briefly too, wait a minute, reconnect power, and open Zoom.
Apply the newest Zoom build, clear any “update failed” notices, and restart the device.
Uninstall Zoom, reboot, reinstall, sign in, and check whether 1004 returns.
Set DNS to 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 (or try a phone hotspot) to rule out ISP routing around 1004.
