I broke my Pair to Mac in Windows: An error occurred while trying to start Broker 17.12.0.153

Question

So I tried getting my project running in VSCode on the Mac, I got all the bits installed and it runs. Unfortunately doing that seems to have killed the Pair to Mac on my PC. Somehow my broker thinks I need to install .net 8 but I want .net 9. I don't actually know if before I started today if the PC was .net 9 and the mac wants 8. How do I tell the broker I want .net 9 not 8? Logs and stuff below:

Thanks,

Steven
