Minion won't launch

[JYBlu]

Greetings,

I am unable to fully launch Minion. When I try to start it, the UI will not pop up. When I look in the task manager, I notice that it has an active process in the 'Background Process' section of the task manager.

I have attempted the following without resolve:

• Uninstalled 64-bit version, installed 32-bit version
• Deleted minion.xml and the associated .minion folder after uninstall/reinstall
• Ran with admin privileges
• Added Minion.exe to Windows exceptions and antivirus exceptions.
• whitelisted the domain mmoui.com in my anti-virus in case that was an issue blocking the communication.
• Minion is not on taskbar or taskbar overflow.
• Tried uninstalling 32-bit and reinstalling 32-bit directly to C drive
• Verified ISP uses both IPv4 and IPv6.
• Scanned computer for and repaired corrupted system files

Current system information:

• Edition Windows 11 Home
• Version 21H2

I am wondering if this is an issue of having Windows 11 v Windows 10. I notice the log states 'os.name=Windows 10'.

I appreciate any insight anyone might be able to give in this situation. I really would like to get Minion back up and running again.
