Trados Business Manager 6 does not load past the splash screen

Dear Community,

I have two laptops, Production and Backup, both Windows 10 Pro installations.
Backup is now updated to Windows version 22H2 build 19045.4780, and Production is now updated to Windows version 22H2 build 19045.4651, and both have Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

TBM versions 6.1.66 to 6.1.86 run without issues on Backup, while none of the TBM 6 versions will load past the splash screen on Production....   Of course, I need TBM to run on the Production laptop!

No issues were reported during TBM installations and all .NET dependencies are installed per its requirements.

Is there any other information or log that I can provide for troubleshooting?

Thank you!!
