Some quick checkups

Before we move on to the fixes below, here are some quick checkups that you can do easily when Ubisoft Connect is not working:

Ubisoft Connect not working can be due to software conflicts caused by other applications you’re running in the background such as antivirus or even a VPN. So we suggest you close unnecessary programs while playing Ubisoft games and using the Ubisoft Connect app.
