For starters, sorry for filing affected version under 1.8.1.2, but, my version (1.11.4.2) was not listed.

Whenever I try to run the Bedrock_server.exe file, I get "bedrock_server.exe - Application Error" window with message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." 

I have followed instructions in similar bug report to ensure that visual studio c++ redist. 2015 was installed (which it is). Also, read elsewhere that this could be a .Net framework issue and to endure that was up to date (Which it is). Same story with Java and DirectX.

Also made sure that my Windows was up to date. As of writing this, Windows is up to date.

Nothing has resolved this issue yet.

Any help is much appreciated as this is quite frustrating
