Windows 10: MSI Dragon Center Error Blocked by firewall, antivirus, or service

I have used the uninstall option, the complete uninstall/cleaner .exe, restarted the MSI Central Service as well as made sure it was set to automatic startup, & downloaded the current up-to-date installer. I still end up with..... It started with a windows update. I have no antivirus or firewall enabled either& It still gives me this error.

Good Antivirus + Firewall

I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
