Unable to connect to local DB2 instance

I have installed an Enterprise version of DB2 on my local Windows 11 pro laptop for some development tasks. Installation proceeded without errors but, it seems I cannot connect using TCP. If I try to stop/start from the admin console, it says I do not have set the environment variables even if I try to printout it works. This is what I can see with db2set -all C:\Windows\System32>db2set -all [e] DB2PATH=C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB [i] DB2INSTOWNER=LAPTOP-HBU9NEC4 [i] DB2PORTRANGE=20000:20005 [i] DB2INSTPROF=C:\PROGRAMDATA\IBM\DB2\DB2COPY1 [i] DB2COMM=TCPIP [g] DB2_EXTSECURITY=YES [g] DB2_COMMON_APP_DATA_PATH=C:\ProgramData [g] DB2SYSTEM=LAPTOP-HBU9NEC4 [g] DB2PATH=C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB [g] DB2INSTDEF=DB2 [g] DB2ADMINSERVER=DB2DAS00 When I try to stop the DB I get C:\> db2stop SQL1390C The environment variable DB2INSTANCE is not defined or is invalid. I tried to print the DB2INSTACE and I get this: C:\>echo %DB2INSTANCE% DB2 This is what I get if I try to create a sample DB C:\>db2 create database TEST001 SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019 Any clue? Thanks
