Describe the problem

The Settings button in the systray does not work in Windows Server 2022, but works fine in Windows Client 11.

Digging a bit, the systray Settings calls netbird-ui.exe --settings=true; when executing it manually, it immediately returns without opening the expected settings window.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Windows systray.
  2. Click on the Netbird icon.
  3. Click on the Settings menu.
  4. See that no UI Settings Window opens.

Expected behavior

Expected the UI Settings Window to show up.

Additional context

Using Netbird 0.23.0.

Oh, rebooting the machine fixed the problem. Not sure what happened.
