A reboot does not help. But whoops, turns out is it that you just need to make sure you right-click “Run as administrator”. After doing so, you will be prompted for your C2 Identity connect key, which you can copy/paste from your C2 Identity dashboard.

After submitting your connect key, you are prompted to approve the connection in the C2 Identity admin portal
