Database does not start: Remote DBMS is unreachable with specified configuration

I had been trying to connect to my Neo4j remote DBMS today but I kept encountering this error:

Remote DBMS is unreachable with specified configuration.

When I check the logs this is what I see:

and this is what my PATH env variable looks like:

also, if relevant, whenever I start up Neo4j I get the error that PowerShell is not found although I have it installed and added to my PATH.

  • OS: windows 10
  • neo4j desktop version: 1.5.9
  • Powershell version: 7.4.1.0

What I have tried:

  • uninstalled and re-installed neo4j desktop
  • upgraded powershell to 7.4.1.0

Does anyone have any leads on what the issue is? Thank you in advance.
