Running on Windows 10 (but I think thats in the log as well)

Downgrading to the previous version I had installed, v1.20.14.0, and the server works again.

Same probleme here under Windows 11 since August 2024. I'm hit by issue #26, MS Defender silently quarantined xkbcomp.exe and vcxsrv-64.21.1.13.0.installer.exe.
