Release port under use in windows

We will release port 8080 here which is being used by windows

The Error:

The Solution:

Let's first run the following commands in order

1. netstat -a -o -n: This will provide us the process id of the process which is using the port.We find that process 4516 is using our port 8080 and we need to kill it.

     2. Next run the command taskkill /F /PID 4516 : This will kill the process.Make sure you have opened command prompt in administrative mode.
