I keep getting

C:\users\pc\onedrive\desktop\mcserver\pause

press any key to continue

my run file is

java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forgeserver.jar -port 25565
PAUSE

so i'm not sure why it's not working please help!

Are you using 64Bit java?

Also add the port with 2x minus:

java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forgeserver.jar --port 25565
pause

Yes

Okay thank you i will give that a try

sorry to be a pain but can you explain what you mean i'm confused

this is the full message and I'm using a normal folder

Also make sure you have closed all instances of the server

You can kill all Java processes via task manager
