I have been trying to start a dedicated server for a few hours, but I always get the following error message:

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

I would guess that since your windows version is over 5 years old, it probably needs some updates.

That version is from 2016.

The latest updates were just downloaded this morning. I don't think that's the problem.

EDIT: Problem solved. A small, unnoticeable syntax error in the config.

You really do need to update Windows though. Even in our enterprise environment we don't allow PC's with older than 1906 to connect to some things. The standard is 20H2, and the current latest is 21H2. Your machine is pretty insecure and lacks optimization at 1607. Even 1803 is pretty pathetic, and you aren't there yet.

That may not have been the issue now, but it will be an issue in the near future.

 
This is a Dedicated Root Server running Windows Server 2016, which has an LTS, this cannot be compared to an end-user Windows 10.
