"There was a problem connecting to the Garmin servers" - Garmin Express error setting up new device

See this FAQ and enter your device type support.garmin.com/.../

Same issue here.  Tried all those suggestions in the link and no luck.  The only thing I can think of is I've switch from Bell to Starlink service recently.

In your case Starlink could be the issue, this from system requirements from Garmin's Express download page:

Windows^®

• Windows 10 or newer, Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 (included)
• 1024 x 768 display, USB port and 1 GB RAM
• High speed Internet access (Not for use with dial-up, mobile or satellite connections)
• May require up to 20 GB free disk space
• For users running Windows 8 or older, please download version 7 of Garmin Express for Windows.

Yeah same issue here using STARLINK, them I routed my phone internet and was able to connect.

GARMIN NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
