You need to adjust your time (clock) where the server is hosted. Windows: Click on your clock in the taskbar. Click on the Internet Time tab. Change Settings. Click update now. Linux: RedHat / CentOS / Fedora yum -y install ntpdate; /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org Debian / Ubuntu apt-get -y install ntpdate; /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org If you purchase a bedrock server from a service provider: They need to run these commands to correct the problem for you.

The Bedrock server executable must be run with administrator permissions.

Right-click bedrock_server.exe

Click Properties

Click Compatibility

Click Change settings for all users

Click to select "Run this program as an administrator"

Click OK twice.

So I had this issue too,

The fix of taking the server worked for connecting offline but then my GF couldn't connect from her place. So I had to set it back to "true" and try another fix.

I restarted the Xbox (as opposed to turning it off and on as I use the instant on setting so powering off doesn't actually work as a way of resetting it as it never really turns off)

I'm not sure if that was actually what fixed it or not as the following also changed

I opened Xbox companion on the PC running the server (not sure how that would have changed anything though)

I tinkered with my Xbox privacy settings (not sure how that would have made a difference either)

I drank a can of coke (I am 100% sure that wasn't what fixed it but include it so as to be thorough) :)

If it happens again il come back and add further info to the post if not, consider it as having Perma fixed the issue for me.
