I sought to prove my issue was not a technical support issue but ended up proving the opposite. I reset my computer to defaults and reinstalled windows, cleared all apps and app data and started from scratch. I can now access realms with no issues. This means I have no idea what the underlying issue is but if you’re like me and only really use your computer for playing Minecraft with your friends this is fixable.
