Let me know what you find!

Hey atomical, sorry to hear that you're also experiencing this behavior, and thanks for checking for symlinks - that definitely helps with our investigation.
Could you also let me know if you've tried temporarily disabling your security program or antivirus which could be hindering the app from running? Additionally, have you ensured that your firewall is configured to run with the desktop app?
Don't hesitate to let me know any additional info and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!
