[Issue] Windows 11 client does not load (suspect Netbird conflict)

[dmindfuse]

Describe the issue
The Windows Client does not start on Windows 11. Neither GUI, nor an executable in the Task Manager appear.

Expected behaviour
I expect the Windows Client to show a GUI when I start it.

Stack Traces
I don't see any logs in the NymVPN installation folder.

Steps to Reproduce

• Click the NymVPN Icon
• Wait 30s for the GUI to appear
• (did not work)
• reboot system
• login
• Click the NymVPN Icon
• (did not work)
• Kill nym-vpnd.exe
• (it restarts nym-vpnd.exe automatically)
• Click the NymVPN Icon
• (did not work)
• repeat ad infinitum

Screenshots
Not applicable.

Which area of Nym were you using?

• Application: Client
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 Build 26100.9168, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.344.0
• Version: can't see this... :(

Additional context
I also have Netbird (netbird.io) VPN installed on the system.
Perhaps we can suspect there is a hidden conflict with the netbird client, although netbird works fine.
Netbird client (also checked the tray) was not running during the above tests.

Thank you for raising this issue

Update: something I don't normally do on Windows, but, I uninstalled the application (not the application data), downloaded the latest client and reinstalled it. Nym started up instantly. I'll monitor to see if this degrades after reboots or running netbird in the coming days.
