Browser extension unable to sync with desktop app on Windows 10

I have the 1Password browser extension installed on Chrome, and I also have the desktop app installed on Windows 10 as well. I'm not sure when it began happening, perhaps only in the last two weeks or so, I've not been able to sync the unlocking of the desktop app with the unlocking of the browser extension.

The last significant update that I did on my system recently, which also coincides with the last time that I saw in the logs any attempt to to connect to the browser extension from the desktop app, was an update of Git Bash. I uninstalled my previous installation of Git Bash and installed 2.44.0.

When I check the sync connection status from the browser extension, it consistently says, "Problems connecting" (see screenshot below).

I have tried already to disable the sync functionality in the browser extension, exiting the desktop app, restarting the desktop app, and re-enabling the sync functionality in the browser extension. However, it still has not resulted in a successful sync between the browser extension and the desktop app.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
