I got it fixed. Please don’t ask how cause I’m not sure. I had installed a couple of items to fix it but it didn’t work, so I removed them and all of sudden it started working again.

Could it possibly be some dependency that got installed, but not removed when you removed the items you installed to try to fix the issue?

No cause it wasn’t working before i installed those items. I do know one time the fix took 3 reboots before it worked, so maybe a update to one of the files just took a bit to apply.
