Did it work before? If so, then what happened/changed?
If it is a fresh install: Just reinstall Windows. Usually not worth the bother to pinpoint such a problem.
Some pointers for more advanced users (which is the case here):
If you REALLY want to invest the time and find out what happens and why, I would look at the network communication of Minion first (for instance with Wireshark):
(that's what it looks like when the connection does not reset)
- are you using a hardware firewall? check the rulesets and logs, try to connect your Minion PC through your phone internet instead of your home network
- has the Windows installation been modified in some way? (disabled services, split user accounts, enabled/disabled features, utf8, not activated)
- is your PC clock set to the correct time and date?
- are there other JAVA installations and global environment settings conflicting with the Minion JVM?
- does this also happen with a newly created Windows user? (new local admin account)
- check network card packet sizes and settings, try a different network card or connection if possible
