iPhone 15 not recognized by iTunes on Windows 10 with NordVPN

iTunes was installed for Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store. iPhone is not recognized and is not listed in the Device Manager.

I attempted to re-install the driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. I have NordVPN, so I did split-tunnel the itunes processes. I attempted to re-install iTunes but still get the same error.
