How to check for used ports on Windows?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using Command Prompt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Netstat<\/strong>: This command displays active connections and listening ports.\n
      \n
    • Open Command Prompt (you can search for cmd<\/code> in the Start menu).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Type netstat -ano<\/code> and press Enter. This will list all ports in use along with the process IDs (PIDs) using them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • To find a specific port, you can use netstat -ano | findstr \"PORT_NUMBER\"<\/code>, replacing PORT_NUMBER<\/code> with the port you’re interested in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • TCPView<\/strong>: This is a graphical utility from Sysinternals that provides a more detailed view of TCP and UDP endpoints. You need to download it from Microsoft’s website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Using PowerShell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Open PowerShell (you can search for powershell<\/code> in the Start menu).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Run the following command: Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object { $_.LocalPort -eq PORT_NUMBER }<\/code>, replacing PORT_NUMBER<\/code> with the port you want to check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Alternatively, you can use Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort PORT_NUMBER).OwningProcess<\/code> to get more information about the process that’s using the port.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Using Resource Monitor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Open Resource Monitor, which can be found by searching in the Start menu or under the “Performance” tab of Task Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Go to the “Network” tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Look at the “Listening Ports” section to see which ports are in use and by which processes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
