WireGuard not working from Windows Client

Firewalla Blue+.  I am trying to get the WireGuard VPN to work from a Windows 11 client.  I am not having any luck.  It works fine from an iOS client.  Also, OpenVPN works fine from Windows.  I setup the server and downloaded the config file.  I imported the config file to the WireGuard app on Windows.  I can successfully activate the link, but then I seem to only see packets being sent and not received.  I cannot ping the gateway or the DNS server (or anything else).  Screenshot below.  Any thoughts?

  I haven't tried a connection from Windows 11, so can't comment on that.

  However, to ping from my WireGuard device, I had to un-disable the ICMP block for WireGuard in Firewalla Settings->Advanced->Configurations->Block ICMP (Ping)

  I don't have that option in Blue+.  Also, OpenVPN is working fine, so I don't think it is related to that.

  Thought I'd provide a follow-up on this since I have gotten it working.  It turns out that if I download and install WireGuard from the "Microsoft Store" it does not work.  If I download the actual .MSI file from the WireGuard website, it seems to work fine.  Apparently, they are not the same binaries!
