Port kill in localhost - DH-Learning/MyWiki GitHub Wiki

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Run the following command:
   netstat -aon | findstr :<PORT>
   Replace with the port number you're checking.

If the port is in use, you’ll see output like:
TCP 127.0.0.1:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1234

• 127.0.0.1:8080 – Port is bound to localhost

• 1234 – PID (Process ID)

3. To identify the process using that PID:
   tasklist /FI "PID eq 1234"

4. Kill the Process
   taskkill /PID 1234 /F

• Replace 1234 with your actual PID.

• The /F flag forces termination.
