How to find and kill a process using a port on Windows CMD
To find a process using a port on Windows using command line,
STEP 1: Open cmd.exe
STEP 2: Run the following command(Replace <PORT> with the port you want to query):
netstat -ano | findstr :[PORT]
This will give you the list of the processes using the specified port in windows.
Other helpful tips:
1. List all processes by process id (pid)
netstat -ano
2. Kill a specific process by process id (Replace <PID> with the actual process id)
taskkill /F /PID [PID]
Here /F is used to forcefully terminate the process.
