Thanks for clarifying the WP password item.
I’m afraid nothing is running on startup that I can see would block Local from reaching WP update servers.
Just to muddy the waters more Local suggested updating PHP too, which also fails when I elect to do so. I’ll sleep on it and hope for inspiration…

Thanks, @Old-Spice. The fact that Local can’t download new versions of PHP or WP suggests either network issues (due to software on your machine or settings on your wider network) or permissions/disk-write issues (typically due to security software, which you say you think you’ve ruled out).
I see Killer Control Center in your list. It’s possible you have its demon running in the background (e.g. “Killer Network Service” or similar) separately to the “Control Center” app that you’re not running on launch (which is just a GUI to control what gets filtered). It might be affecting Local’s network access, so that’s something you could explore.
If that doesn’t help you could try Local on another network (e.g. different Wi-Fi or tethered phone) or machine to determine if it’s a network or computer-specific issue.
Hi Nick
Thank you very much for your attention and feedback. I will look for Killer Network Service (or similar) and try using my phone as alternative network access.
Cheers
I checked Task Manager and disabled the background processes associated with my Brave browser and Killer Network Services. The system prevents me from ending the task MS Realtime Network Service Inspection which shows an MS Defender sub-task. I attempted to download and update PHP, it started but appeared to hang at the last moment, showing 103/111 MB in the progress dialog.
I then disconnected my home network and used my phone as a hotspot. With the background processes still disabled I attempted the PHP update which started but appeared to hang showing 107/111|MB in the progress dialog.

I’m running out of ideas, so I’m going to uninstall Local and reinstall with everything we’ve already mentioned shut down and disabled.
I deleted my Local WP site and uninstalled Local. Cold boot, closed background tasks, downloaded new install file for Local. Ran install, ran Local (as Admin just to be sure), created a new WP site (same name) sucessfully. Attempted a PHP update which hung as before.
Disabled the firewall on my router and attempted a PHP update. Note the message at the top of the screen. It hung.

I have raised the mysqld issue several times
Can’t create or connect to site - mysqld / mysqladmin error - Support - Local Community
the 8.0.16 version in 9.1.1 did not have this issues

It looks like Local can not write to your Windows temporary directory, which will affect its ability to copy and unpack downloads:
Warning: Temp directory isn't writable: C:\\Windows\\TEMP/\nError
If you run Local as administrator (close Local, right-click the app icon, choose “run as administrator” — should give Local broader filesystem access, not the same as running as your current admin user), do downloads succeed?
If that doesn’t work you could also try checking that the C:\Windows\Temp folder is writeable by your current Windows user.
The other factor that could affect this is a full disk, but I think you already ruled this out earlier (“730GB free”).

@codemonkeynorth Thank you for your reports, I replied to your thread here:

Newer versions of MySQL that Local ships with require updated DLLs on Windows. Local tries to install these but we’ve seen installation get blocked, as in the current thread. Manually installing the DLLs as described above can help, as it did here to unblock the initial MySQL errors.
If you continue to see errors please feel free to reply in the other thread you started.
