MadVR and LAV plugins won't install

Hi,

So, I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 11 instead of an upgrade. Maybe that was foolishness on my part. Sigh! Everything was going well until I got to Media Center 31. Install works ok, I was able to connect back to my media server running in the closet. Started reconfiguring the options and everything was going well until I got to "Video". I switched to MadVR and that's when everything broke. MC31 spends lots of trying to download MadVR then fails with "MadVR is unavailable and could not be automatically installed".

I went through all the instructions here : https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=88626.0 and here : https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=104361.0

I deleted the plugin folders (many times). MadVR folder is always empty.
I turned off Windows Defender Firewall
I don't have any Antivirus except what's on a fresh vanilla install of Windows 11. Not even sure there's a way to turn that off.
I tried running MC in administrator mode
Created exceptions in the Firewall for MC31, but Firewall is "off" so??

Ok, fine, I'll fix it later. I switch back to standard Red October and try to play an MKV file. J River starts trying to download the LAV plugin and I get the same problem, LAV won't download, the LAV64 folder in C:\Users\RecorderHoarder\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 31\Plugins is empty, and the video doesn't play. DANG!

Lastly, I check the copy of MC31 running in the closet under Windows 10. I haven't touched this install in a while. It exclusively serves media to other machines in the house. I went to Options->Video and switched to MadVR. Sure enough, I got the EXACT SAME behavior. I guess it's not a Windows 11 issue at all? Please can someone check if their copy of MC can download MadVR, LAV64, or any other plugins?

I can't finish this project until I get J River working again.
Thanks!

JimH:
Configure Windows Defender.

RecorderHoarder:
Jim.

I turned OFF Windows Defender. No change. What else am I supposed to do here?

JimH:
Configure it.

RecorderHoarder:
Jim,

What exactly do I need to do to get MC configured in Windows Defender?

I followed all of the instructions from here : https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=114101.0

No change.
