In all versions starting the bedrock_server.exe leads to the pop-up: Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
Normally this has 2 buttons: Don't run and Run anyway (after clicking more info). Since version 1.17.40 I do not see the 'run anyway' button anymore.
Mojang should provide Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate with the server to avoid these issues.
Running on HP Elitebook, Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2: Edition Windows 10 EnterpriseEdition Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2 Installed on 12-5-2021 OS build 19042.1237 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3530.0
Windows shows this popup when trying to run bedrock_server.exe

Have you tried whitelisting the bedrock_server.exe into your Windows Firewall?
I also recommend making a post what you have said on the correct channel here: feedback.minecraft.net so that Mojang can notice it as this site is mainly for tracking bugs only. |

I 'manually' unblocked it like below. This is in IMHO not a proper way. A professional SW development organization like Mojang should sign their deliverables to avoid this kind of pop-ups. Especially since they're part of Microsoft, the just should have these Extended Validation certificates for signing.

Make sure to disable your Anti-Virus while playing the game OR put the game as whitelisted on your Anti-Virus software. Windows Defender is connected with anti-virus programs. |
