Hi @aleksandarcapric Have you been through our Windows guide yet? It sounds like the device might be blocking Local. We have a Windows Troubleshooting guide below that goes over some common items worth checking. For example, ensure that Local is running as an administrator, that there are no secur…

I’ve done all of that and the problem still exists
