As a guess: Do you have [IPS](https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/ips) enabled?

If yes, then you may want to turn it off while you debug this. This is what I ran into in the past. It is related to installed with `apt`. It won’t help with Win11.

> I had an issue with apt update when IPS is enabled. Try disabling IPS temporarily (this is just a test). For me there was single rule I had enabled that caused the problem. (Sorry I cannot remember the rule but I’ll keep looking for my notes!) EDIT: Found it! In an IPS rule named: emerging-policy.rules Is a item called: ET POLICY GNU/Linux APT User-Agent Outbound likely related to package management And it was blocking my apt-get update.
