Re: The desktop app on Windows 11 isn't connecting to the internet

Application Affected
Dropbox desktop
Device
AMD-based Windows PC
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
Windows 11
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
241.4.4853

Question or Issue
I'm only seeing this or "Starting" after installing dropbox on a PC that never had it before.  I had tried installing a week ago and ran into authentication issues.  I purged all older linked devices from my account to make room, and did full (advanced) re-install on this PC.

Windows defender is disabled, there is no other firewall running that I'm aware of.  Dropbox has connected through this home router with no trouble on other devices.
