Desktop Failed to fetch when adding images from desktop site

For a while now I have been getting the Failed to Fetch error when trying to add an image from the Reddit desktop site. I am using Windows 11. I have tried:

  • Chrome and Edge browsers
  • Incognito/private and normal browsing modes
  • Home wifi and mobile hotspot
  • Clearing browser cache and disabling all extensions
  • Old Reddit (image fails to load)
  • Different image types - every image fails
  • Purging DNS settings
  • Other Reddit profiles

Uploading images works fine on the Reddit mobile app, and on another desktop computer I have running Windows 10. So clearly it is something to do with my main PC. I can not recall changing something that would have triggered this.

I know these things are tough to figure out so I appreciate your patience and support.
