Windows 10: Minecraft for Windows 10 server cannot be re-joined after disconnecting

Hi,


I have a strange issue occuring that I cannot find any support for online. I run a local Bedrock server on my home network to enable me to play on the same world whether i'm on my PC, laptop, phone or tablet. The server is hosted on my primary PC and the issue below occurs when using the same

machine to play on the server via loopback.


When the Minecraft for Windows 10 client is first started I can see my local server online and can join it without any issues, the server itself is not the issue and can be joined by any of the other devices in my network.


The problem occurs after disconnecting from the server - 90% of the time it reverts to "locating..." and appears to be offline. This also occurs if I start up the game client and wait in the menu for longer than 10 minutes before trying to join the server, the only way I have found to fix this is to restart the client and join the server immediately each time as once the connection is made, the game behaves as normal.


Any support would be appreciated, thank you.

:)

 

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

I can't join additional servers in minecraft bedrock edition.

(I play on Windows 10) Whenever I try to add a additional server in Minecraft, it doesn't recognize the server as a server and whenever I try to join It says "unable to connect to world", however, I am able to join the featured servers like mineplex, the
hive, ETC. Can somebody help me? I just want to play skyblock.
