WLM '09 stopped working?

So, I use Windows 7 as a daily driver and I wanted to patch my Windows Live Messenger install with escargot.chat since I did a clean install yesterday but when I patched it, it gave me an error about me being “offline” so I went to install the Escargot Switcher and it gave me an error which read “Your contact list is not available right now”. I know this topic won’t be much use since it only happens to people running Windows 11 but I’d like to see the community cooperate on the solution to this problem on other OSes.

downgrade to 8.5
