Unable to install/update due to BLZBNTAGT00000840

BLZBNTAGT00000840 - brand new laptop (just bought today), Windows 11, 32GB RAM 2TB SDD Ryzen 5. Battlenet is the first thing I installed, getting this error when attempting to install/update WoW Retail. Have done uninstalls and restarts and fresh installs, still getting same error message.

Update: I have Battlenet and WoW on an external SSD (which is why I bought a new laptop to begin with), and now that version won’t update. Same error BLZBNTAGT00000840.

Getting the same error code when trying to install Battle.net on a new machine. Not an update, not trying to install a game, just trying to install Battle.net.
