If a port has been pocessed by a process/application/program, you cannot listen to it. Usually, an exception of “Address in Use – cannot bind” will be thrown. That is, a port can only be used by one program at a time. If you want to free up the port, you have to figure out which program occupies it.

On windows, you can use command netstat -ano to list the process and the ports.

-a Displays all connections and listening ports.
-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.
-o Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection.

If you run it, the output looks like this:

# netstat -ano

where we can filter by the grep command (which can be downloaded via GNU Utilities for windows) however, you can use the windows command findstr to achieve the same thing, for example,

# netstat -ano | findstr 49669
STDIN
  TCP    127.0.0.1:5354         127.0.0.1:49669        ESTABLISHED     4752
  TCP    127.0.0.1:49669        127.0.0.1:5354         ESTABLISHED     4760

The last column is the Process ID, where you can now kill the process by using taskkill /f /PID pid where /f means force.

taskkill /f /PID 4752

Of course, we can write a batch script (cmd) that uses for or the GNU-awk to filter out the last column and pipe the commands so that two steps will be merged into one. Using the AWK can be better where you can filter out the second and third column and look for the port numbers as the grep may mistakenly match the PID or the IP address when given the port number string.
