Please help with error QBWC1013: Error connecting to QuickBooks.

I have a client who is using QuickBooks Pro 2022, with Web Connector to handle the data exchange between QuickBooks and their web site. If QuickBooks is shut down, Web Connector runs fine.

 

The issue is with running Web Connector while QuickBooks is running. This is the ideal situation as it allows us to take advantage of the Auto-Run feature and update the data every 5 minutes. When run under these conditions, Web Connector crashes with two crash messages. Here are the crash details:

I've done some research, and I'm finding little online regarding this error, QBWC1013.
 
I did find this article, some of which doesn't apply (I don't have a "Keep QuickBooks running" option in QB Pro 2022, and Target x86 isn't relevant), but focussing on the relevant portions, everything checks out. I verified that both QB and QBWC were running at the same level (user) and double-checked this by running both as Admin.
 
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
 
Thanks kindly,
Paul Watson
