Minecraft 1.16.4 forge server won't launch.

[Damocles]

I had a 1.16.4 Minecraft server for over a year and it was working fine yesterday. Then after restarting the server it failed to launch. I tried launching other servers and all of them wouldn't launch (all forge) I tried to downgrade,update my java (10-15 times) and i am completely loss right now and need help. Also tried to make a new 1.16.4 Forge server but it didn't work either. Server log thingy is looking like this.

Forget to say i tried to remove all mods too and still no fix.

 

[Luis_ST]

update Forge to the latest version

you also should update to 1.16.5

[Damocles]

I tried to make a new forge server by downloading the latest forge and also tried 1.16.5 like 5 minutes ago still the same issue.

[Luis_ST]

post updated log

[Damocles]

This is 1.16.5 without any mods and with the latest forge.
