I actually had to wipe everything off my computer (not because of this issue)
and then put everything back on, and now it works. Thanks, though, for
responding. I will definitely keep the notes in case it does happen again.
Thank you!

I actually had to wipe everything off my computer (not because of this issue)

Thank you!
