'ConnectionError: Unknown service '//blp/refdata' when running bquery = blp.BlpQuery().start()
When running the script:
from blp import blp
bquery = blp.BlpQuery().start()
I'm getting error:
ConnectionError: Unknown service '//blp/refdata' when running bquery = blp.BlpQuery().start()
Any idea what could be causing this?

From Bloomberg - this fixed it:Start Menu, then navigate to the Bloomberg folder, and then click "Stop API Process."
When the window pops up, please follow the on-screen prompts to close out of all Microsoft Office programs.
Please go to your Start Menu > Bloomberg > API Environment Diagnostics. In the window that opens, please click "Start." and then "Repair"
