The error arises when users try to play games that require connection with a server, such as Minecraft. As a result, players can’t join the games’ servers.
How do I fix the connection forcibly closed error?
1. Select Enable operating system’s restricted environment
Users have confirmed they were able to fix the remote host error by selecting the Enable operating system’s restricted environment option.
2. Turn off antivirus software
The remote host error might be due to third-party antivirus software blocking a game’s connection with server. So, turning off antivirus software might resolve the issue for some users. To disable an antivirus utility, right-click the system tray icon for it and select a disable or turn off option on its context menu. If the utility’s context menu includes a disable firewall setting, select that option as well. Then try playing the game with the antivirus software disabled.
