All verifications fail - Userside
I am coming here as a last resort because I don't know what else to do. For the last week (possibly some days longer, explained below), I have been unable to pass any and all captcha/verifications on any service that uses Cloudflare.
This includes: Login captchas (Click to verify you are human) and automatic verifications (One second, Cloudflare needs to verify your connection...).
I am a human user, on the same laptop, browser, and network for years. Nothing has changed. I launched my browser as usual but now Cloudflare seems to think I am a bot, and none of their suggestions (disabling ad blockers, typing login infomation out manually, waiting to try again) have helped.
Each time I launch my browser, I log back into my accounts, I do not store cookies or cache for privacy reasons, thus, I have been locked out of services since I last closed my browser. I did notice for a few days before I couldn't pass verifications on specific pages but chalked it up to the website's servers lagging due to the heavy filter queries I was requesting, but I don't know the exact start date. Possibly around Feb 20-25th.
My phone, connected to the exact same network, gets by the same exact verifications just fine. My laptop only has a few things open when I try these checks: Steam, Windows Security, my drawing tablet program, Discord and my browser. These were all open previous to this sudden change too, these are usually always open.
I am currently unable to log in to websites, including my main source of income, and do any searches through my search engine. I can't even see the Help Center page on the Cloudflare website, it gives me an "Access Denied" error page.
Please for the love of nature, help me. I am disabled and so is one of my pets. I also help a disabled friend advertise their work. I need to regain access to my accounts, there are literal lives counting on it. I don't know what to do that I haven't tried.

If you're having trouble passing Cloudflare Turnstile or Managed Challenges, you can try taking the following steps:
1. Check your browser and use a different one if necessary. Cloudflare challenges support the latest versions of popular browsers but some forks (such as Pale Moon) are not supported. See this link for more info: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/concepts/cloudflare-challenges/#supported-browsers
2. Disable your browser extensions. Sometimes browser extensions can cause Cloudflare challenges to block your browser.
3. Scan your computer for malware (for example, using a free tool such as Malwarebytes). Sometimes malware can cause Cloudflare challenges to detect your computer as malicious and block it.
2) I have tried this and no changes
3) I scanned with that exact program, and also did a full PC scan through Windows Security, no changes.
For #1 - I have used Iridium for a long time. Is it really possible it's suddenly a problem? I don't want to use any browsers that force VPNs, AI, Crypto and whatever else onto me... God this is unbearable. I should not be seen as a bot over using a Chromium fork. I will look into an alternative browser tomorrow I guess. Thank you.
