WoW isn't updating (Initialization loop), can't figure out how to fix it

World of Warcraft is unable to update for me. I’ve attempted these things so far, and I don’t know what I can do anymore:

  • Restarting my computer
  • Reinstalling Battle.net
  • Scan & Repair (several times)
  • Allowing Battle.net and WoW through my Firewall
  • Completely uninstalling WoW

Since uninstalling WoW, I also can’t reinstall it (my _retail_ folder is empty, yes I have the right install location) It shows an Update button, but when I hit it, it gets thrown into an Initialization loop. Sometimes it shows Install, but does nothing.

Any last ideas?

WoW classic and WoW WOTLK still work. It’s just Dragonflight.
