I installed Ignition 8.1.22 on Windows Server 2019. Opened the Ignition gateway welcome page with IE web browser - [http://localhost:8088/welcome](http://localhost:8088/welcome) and the page is blank. I verified the Ignition service is running. Do I need different browser or the windows firewall is blocking it?
