The Best way to do so:

The other methods explained above will get you stuck at a lot of places Don't go for changing the port

2 Step Process

1) Open Command Prompt as Administrator

2) type net stop http (If it says it doesn't identify the keyword, then it is only because your Environmental Variable's PATH doesn't contain path to Program Files/System32 you can search on how to do it ) press Y at every place it asks you to, don't worry you are not stopping any important process just some process which took your port. And that process will again take over your port once you are not working.
