The above details are confusing as they appear to conflict with the following description, excerpted from the Minimwatch installation guide.

MinimWatch will display a tray icon for each MinimServer instance running on another computer or NAS on your local network. The tray icon has a minim symbol and its colour shows the status of the MinimServer instance:
If the icon is yellow, MinimServer is starting
If the icon is green, MinimServer is running normally
If the icon is red, MinimServer has detected an error
If the icon is white, MinimServer is stopped
If the icon is grey, no instances of MinimServer were detected


Assuming the latter, check the Windows Defender firewall inbound rules
1) type ‘firewall’ into the Windows 10 search box
2) select the highlighted Windows Defender firewall entry
3) select Advanced settings, from the left hand column
4) select Inbound rules, from the left hand column

There should be two entries in the list for Java™ Platform SE binary, TCP and UDP, that are enabled and allowed.
