Hi there PG-E3, welcome to our Community!
At first, awesome work on the initial troubleshooting - definitely narrows down our investigation.
Could you also check if there's a third party app, like a security app, that could be hindering the syncing process? Could you try temporarily disabling your antivirus? Maybe that will do the trick.

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

It might sound trivial, but have you tried signing out of the app, and then back into it?
If that doesn't work either, I'd recommend doing a quick uninstall, and re-install of the app.
