PIP Service not Running (but it is)

Lately I've had a minor issue with Power Automate Desktop that I've not been able to resolve.
 
Every time I launch a Picture-in-Picture flow, I receive an error:
 
Unable to run the flow
The "Power Automate picture-in-picture esrvice" is not running on the target picture-in-picture session. do you want to sign out of the picture-in-picture session and sign in again? J
[Yes] [No]
 
But here's the thing: the service is running, and if I click No, it will continue the flow normally through completion without any problem at all.  But it won't even begin until I click No here.
 
If I click YES, the PIP session re-opens and I'm asked to sign-in again, but it only brings me back to the same prompt afterwards.  I must click No in order to have my flow run successfully.
 
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, I'm not sure what else to troubleshoot here. Everything seems good and I can confirm the PIP service is running in the services.msc console.
 
I have the same question (15)
