How do I kill the process currently using a port on localhost in Windows?

Step 1:

Open up cmd.exe (note: you may need to run it as an administrator, but this isn’t always necessary), then run the below command:

netstat -ano | findstr :<PORT>

(Replace <PORT> with the port number you want, but keep the colon)

The area circled in red shows the PID (process identifier). Locate the PID of the process that’s using the port you want.

Step 2:

Next, run the following command:

taskkill /PID <PID> /F

(No colon this time)

Lastly, you can check whether the operation succeeded or not by re-running the command in “Step 1”. If it was successful you shouldn’t see any more search results for that port number.
