My Django site is unable to connect to Neo4j local host but it works on a friend's machine 🌌

When I ran my Django site that uses a Neomodel, I got the following error screenshot and error message. The versions that I used are Python 3.11 and the latest defaults for the Neo4j desktop setting.

neo4j.exceptions.ServiceUnavailable: Couldn't connect to localhost:7687 (resolved to ()):
Failed to establish connection to ResolvedIPv6Address(('::1', 7687, 0, 0)) (reason [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)
Failed to establish connection to ResolvedIPv4Address(('127.0.0.1', 7687)) (reason [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)

Each of our systems is 64bit but my friend has Windows 10, and I have Windows 11. I tried turning off my Windows Firewall, but to no avail. Anyone might know what the issue may be?

Any updates, Neo4j community??

The neo4j service must be up if your colleague can connect. Do you have some malware or antivirus software running that may impede the connection?

Both my friend and I are running Neo4j desktop with a fresh database, but with the exact same connection credentials set up when we created them on each machine. So there is no common database that we are sharing
