[solved] Miraweb 1.2.7 is dysfunctional with the latest Max 8.6.4 and Window 11

Hi

MiraWeb is not working anymore on a machine with the latest Max and Windows updates. (Windows 11 Home - version 23H2)

While there were some tricks like downgrading to version 1.2.5, for the machine in question this works no more:

Using the older MiraWeb versions (like 1.2.5) causes now a

Error 126 loading external mira_ws_server

error when max starts up, and subsequently outputs:

Error 126 loading external mira.status
Mira Initialized, package version: 1.2.2

While version 1.2.7. cannot resolve the network address and outputs

Windows cannot find 'http://none:-1/?port=-1'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

and the console shows

Max could not launch URL. err = 1223

On another two Windows machines (Current 11, and older 10), the downgrade trick still works.

But 1.2.7 is not working on any of the three windows machines I tried.

Unfortunately I was unable to figure out why this one machine sticks out, other than it used to work on it until today, when I made a complete reinstall of windows 11. :-/
