    Solved! And I think I know what the problem might be.

    From the Windows "Add & Remove Programs" menu I removed anything with ST in the name and did another fresh installation. This time I got the message "Do you want to allow public and private networks to access this app? Windows Firewall has blocked some features of st-link_gdbserver.exe on all public and private networks".

    I have not seen this message before.

    I clicked "Allow" and the installation continued, and now it works.

    Another Sunday wasted - ho-hum

    ADDED LATER: on reflection, in the process of uninstalling I uninstalled 2 versions of STMCubeIDE as well as one STLink file. It's possible the problem was related to that, as per the links above. Either way, a complete uninstall / reinstall fixed it
