Windows 10 mSecure blank & cannot Sync from Android

I have been using mSecure for a few years now, syncing from Android phone to Windows 10.  However, having not used the desktop version for some time, I have today logged in and the screen is blank with no data.


I tried to use the Wifi sync from my Android phone but it shows the following:


Sync Status:

Client - ONE A2003 (my android)

Network - (name of my PlusNet network displayed)


Server:

Server not available

In order gto sync you must set up a main computer in mSecure's sync settings on a desktop computer


This is what I cannot do, setup sync settings on Windows 10 version.


I have checked the support forum for this issue and most relate to Apple products and others refer to a Sync button bottom left on Windows, which is not showing on mine.
