Mezzmo Server process does not start on Win 10 Creators Update - Error 1053

Hi,
you can try going to 'Media Server Settings' and set the Mezzmo server to run as a Windows Console process to see if the server starts. If it does start correctly and run you can then try going back and changing it to run as a Windows Service again to see if it will start.

It does work in console mode, but trying to change back to service same error appears. I don't see mezzmo service in windows services after clean install, maybe there is a way to register it manually?

When you change from console mode to service mode Mezzmo should automatically create the service.

It does not... After clean install I get this error:

After a clean install the Mezzmo server should be set to run as a console process then you would need to change it to run as a Windows service and at this point do you see this error? It may be that the service registration is failing for some reason, please enable diagnostic logging http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?id=using_logging&s[]=diagnostic then try setting the Mezzmo server to run as a service and then after the error appears send the logs to support [at] conceiva [dot] com and we will have a look.

I changed the server process to console mode. Doing so I got a popup from Windows Defender Firewall to allow access – which I did (for Local Networks).
I could then successfully start the server process via the console.

Then I tried to switch back to service mode which immediately created error messages and led to a dead-end loop from which I could only escape by killing Mezzmo entirely.
After restarting Mezzmo’s console I could revert to console mode which seems to work ok,
