It'd be good to know whether it also fails with an unpatched Emacs, but still...
Most likely, the message means that your .emacs.d/server failed one of
the following two checks:
(unless (eq t (car attrs)) ; is a dir?
(throw :safe nil))
(unless (eql uid (user-uid)) ; is the dir ours?
(throw :safe nil))
Assuming it is indeed a directory, that means that the id of the owner
of the directory does not match the user running Emacs, i.e, that
(nth 2 (file-attributes
"c:/Users/wilx/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/server" 'integer))
is different from what (user-uid) returns.
Could you please try both things in your Emacs instance and report
what you find? Also, you could try deleting .emacs.d/server and
recreating it.
