Can't connect to RCON on Windows server

Hi!, i have been trying to get rcon to work through windows. But as soon as Oxide rustdedicated_data is installed to the server rcon will stop working. 
When i say rcon is not working i mean that i get "Could not connect to server" error messsage without error code on rcon.io

Rcon works on linux with Oxide installed. i tried that.

I have added

+rcon.web 1 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "YourPassword" to startupscript (I changed the password)  to startup script

I know i have installed firewall rules corretly due to it working as soon as umod is not installed.

Everything else works as expected i use rcon.io webpage for rcon connection. 

No errors in oxide startup: 15:44 [Info] Loading Oxide Core v2.0.3991...15:44 [Info] Loading extensions... - Pastebin.com
Let me know if any other logs is needed. Thanks.

Make sure you haven't enabled OxideRcon under oxide/oxide.config.json, as that will replace Rust's RCON. Other than that, there's RCON has nothing to do with Oxide, so as long as you don't have that enabled, the issue isn't from Oxide.
