Im experiencing issues caused by NordVPN, uninstalling it resolves it. But im interested in to understanding why this correlation happens, do you have any proven source or any tip for me regarding this?

I'm on Windows 11 Pro host and have tried creating multiple different guest OS machines all with the same error, "Cannot Connect to the Virtual Machine." However, when I power on the machine, I can see an image of it booted up in the Hyper-V Manager window. I just can't connect to it. Both the host and the guest machine are running on the same pc. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

2024-05-21T15:11:03+00:00 Hello! I'm Jen, and I'd be happy to help you out with this issue.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Do you have a VPN or a third-party firewall enabled? If so, try disabling them to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, try restarting Hyper-V service. You could also try restarting your computer to restore the connection. Please keep me posted. Thank you.
I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.
Best Regards!
Jen :)

2024-05-21T17:23:23+00:00 Thanks for your comment. I've already tried starting and stopping the service as well as my pc. I am not using a VPN or a firewall. Also, do you happen to know who to contact for tech support? I've tried contacting support through Windows several times but they keep telling me it's out of their area of expertise and are referring me to business sales. I'm beyond frustrated with them.
