3. open the installed Hello World app

Describe the problem

When running the application using briefcase dev, everything operates as expected on Windows. However, after packaging the application with Briefcase, launching the Windows executable triggers a ServiceListenTimeout error. This error occurs specifically when FiftyOne attempts to initialize its MongoDB database service.

The issue seems confined to the packaged Windows application; everything works fine in the development environment and on a packaged Linux build.

Expected Behavior: FiftyOne should be able to initialize its MongoDB service in the packaged Windows application without encountering a port binding error.

Actual Behavior: Upon launching the packaged Windows application, it fails to start and throws a ServiceListenTimeout error, preventing FiftyOne's MongoDB service from initializing
