I have never received this error in my 20 years of playing World of Warcraft. The error is only affecting World of Warcraft: The War Within. I opened and played raid fine after updating at 4:00 PM MDT. I exited game at 9:00 PM MDT and played approximately 1 hour of Overwatch 2. I then attempted to relaunch World of Warcraft at 10:00 PM MDT, and I have been met with this error. I have tried running the app as an admin. I have tried allowing Battle.net and World of Warcraft through the firewall (already allowed). I have tried created a new Admin account and updating there. I have tried reinstalling the Battle.net app after deleting all local files. I have tried completing a scan and repair instead, but received the same error. I would like to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling World of Warcraft to preserve my addons and settings. Is there anything else I can try? Or is this an issue on Battle.nets end with the new World of Warcraft update today?

I uninstalled the game this morning, and it has just sat and spun on install with absolutely nothing happening. Overwatch 2 updated fine last night after I started having issues with World of Warcraft.
