Bonjour DLL blocked by Windows 11, rendering Game Capture useless

As the title says, current version of Windows 11 automatically blocks the mdnsNSP.dll that comes with Apple Bonjour which for whatever reason is needed to get a signal for the Game Capture, rendering it completely useless.

Couldn't find a solution online. People claim uninstalling the version of Bonjour that got downloaded with Game Capture and installing the current version of it from the official Apple website would fix it but it didn't, getting the same error. Apparently this error has also been happening for months now without an official statement from Elgato.

This is pretty scummy to say the least because it literally makes a product I paid hundreds of dollars for entirely useless. Is this reason enough to press charges against Elgato? Clearly they don't seem to care and as a content creator I kinda rely on the Game Capture working as intended...

What can I do here? How has this not been addressed? They can't expect everyone to use an outdated, unsafe Windows version in order for their paid product to function properly!
