Hi Community
I have a brand-new DMA running on Win11 laptop as a demo. It was initially installed as version 10.2 and worked. Following upgrade to 10.3, and beyond the Cube client updating itself on the first attempt to connect, I can no longer connect via DM Cube application either locally or remotely.
Message in Cube GUI is:
"Connection timeout. The DataMiner agent did not respond in time."
Cube log reads as follows (captures several login attempts):

Any advice as to how to further diagnose or rectify this issue would be much appreciated, please.
Have you tried restarting the DMA yet? I've encountered a similar issue recently, and a DMA restart did the trick then.
Hi Tony, the “unable to load assembly” warning is a false positive, it has been removed in a more recent version of the Cube launcher.
Thanks Marieke; yes we’ve tried DMA restart which does not clear this issue. The issue seems to be related to the Cube application itself, such reasoning based on this extract from the Cube logging:
