Not able to load the simulator in URSim

I have been trying to load the simulator on my URSim software, but I keep encountering this issue where, on every startup I receive the message - “Unable to set Remote Control”

Further, I see the sign - “No Controller” on the bottom left side of my screen. When I click on that I see the option to “Start Controller” which literally does nothing, probably because there is no controller at all.

My issue is quite similar to what is discussed in this forum but none of the propose solution seem to solve the issue and this forum is officially close so I couldn’t raise the issue there.
