Description

Whenever I try to launch ZeroTierOne via taskbar/start/as an administrator it gets terminated ~1 second later, the icon in the bottom left of the screen appears for the same amount of time, then disappears. There is no good reason for this as my antivirus reported nothing to me anyway and I have administrator perms on the computer I am useing.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure on Windows 11 using the taskbar, Start menu, and administrator paths described in the issue. Investigate why the ZeroTier Desktop UI and its bottom-left icon disappear after about one second; done means the UI launches and remains available.
