Describe the bug
Glances web server fails to start on windows 11.

I have already tried the mentioned solution from here: #3101

FWIW the opposite of that solution has been working for me. I.e. glances installs netifaces2 but actually only works with netifaces:

pip uninstall netifaces2
pip install netifaces

But I would love to not have to do that, +1 :)

Related issues:

• Glances 4.3.0 | Error while initializing the ports plugin (No implementation for gateways() yet) #3072
• netifaces is deprecated, use netifaces-plus or netifaces2 #3055

I tried it the other way around, but that didn’t work for me either. :(
