Upgrade StorageZotero App not able to sync on my Windows computer, Works ok on Linux computer
Hi this is my first discussion, so I hope I'm doing it right.
Syncing worked just fine on my Windows computer until about March.
Then it stopped working.
Can log in just fine from Firefox.
Can sync Zotero app on my other computer ( Linux ).
Now on Windows 10 box it won't sync.
Won't allow submission of debug dump.
Now it won't synch, and won't accept synch preferences.
Press "set up syncing" and it responds with:

Unfortunately, I have tried many things to solve this: re-installing Zotero standalone, disabling Kaspersky firewall, disabling Kaspersky VPN, changing proxy type from 5 to 4 to 0 and back. Nothing seems to change the behavior described in the original post.
The problem first appeared in March, around the time I installed Kaspersky VPN, which may or may not be relevent. Before that, Zotero standalone was working fine for years.
The Firefox connector works just fine without standalone running. I'm able to save web pages to my Zotero account and see them reflected on the Zotero.org web interface when I log in there.
Not having any network problems with any other programs and I use a lot of programs: Libreoffice, Cloudberry S3, Amazon Music/Audible for Windos, Jetbrains Pycharm, Telegram. No problems in any other programs, just in Zotero standalone.
Again it all works just fine over on my Linux machine, it's only on the Windows 10 machine that this problem has emerged.
Anyway, if there is anything else we can do to analyze this issue please do let me know. My current workaround is to limit my Zotero activity to the web interface and Firefox connector.
Thanks much
