Electrum won't even try to connect

Tried to access bitcoin wallet to send bitcoin. It would be stuck on sync, and it almost came close to working once. Now realize it was probably because a lot of the servers were down. However, I restarted/updated my computer (Windows 10) and updated to the newest Electrum. Now, it won't even try connecting/syncing (red dot in lower right corner). Downgrading/reinstalling to previous Electrum versions doesn't do anything. Neither does creating a new wallet. It also won't work on Tails, even with Tor proxy on, giving the exact same issue. When I try to send anyways, I get an error pop up with Traceback File " /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/electrum.util.py", line 794....Type Error: unorderable types: NoneType() > int(). Disabled Windows firewall with no help. Ended up accessing/sending bitcoins on my wallet on another computer on the same Wi Fi network, but really need this to work on my computer. Any ideas?

Start by reproducing the red-dot synchronization failure described on Windows 10 and Tails, then inspect the traceback pointing to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/electrum/util.py line 794. Compare the behavior with a working computer on the same Wi-Fi network. Done means Electrum connects and syncs reliably without the reported NoneType-to-int error.
