According to your error message, execute following steps can resolve it.

In the Search box, type compmgmt.msc, and then press Enter.

Microsoft Management Console will start.

In the navigation tree, expand Services and Applications and click Services.

In the Services list, right-click Server, and then click Start.

However, the question is you were kicked off from game without any prompt, please turn off your security software and create a new account for test, also considering reinstall your game.

The reason this is bad advice is running server is ONLY enabling hackers. leaving such unused tools open on a computer that does not need them is an invitation, and making processes or programs dependent on such is, well we won't even get into how stupid that is. No with any real intelligence, one might explain what prefnet is, and how to disable it, or a workaround. turning my computer into a server is not a solution, n certainly not one I will tolerate. n why u are at it u can give me Find back instead of Server dependent Search. QUIT MAKING IT EASY FOR HACKERS
