I can't add a project. Deleting the directory after uninstalling BM and reinstalling it, trying to copy the directory from another computer didn't help either.
Logs from the journal:

Please help?

You need to unhide your pc so an Admin can see what's going on, if you click on my name you can see what we normal users can see when you unhide them.

I know what is involved with

I know what is involved with showing or hiding computers.
I received inappropriate comments about them on my previous team, so I want to avoid that this time.
The problem is not with the type of computer. It's probably not the hardware, it's the Windows 10 thing.

Windows10 won't be a 'thing' come November for most people as MS says they are force upgrading people to Win11 before then. Right now it's an easy process except for older 'non-compatible' pc's which yours isn't.

The problem is the "hosts"

The problem is the "hosts" file.
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
I don't know how to get to it to overwrite it.
But let's leave it that way.
