  • Reset Time Zone settings: Open Command Prompt as administrator and type timedatectl list-timezones followed by timedatectl set- timezone (replace with your desired time zone).

  • Disable Windows Defender Firewall: Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Firewalls & Internet Safety > Advanced settings > Inbound Rules and click on “Properties” for each rule. Uncheck the box next to “Allow connections”.

  • Update time zone database: Run time zone database update in Command Prompt as administrator.

Installation-Related Steps
