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

Question

How can I remove the current process/application which is already assigned to a port?

For example: localhost:8080

Answer 1

Result for windows

In my case 8080 is the port I wants to kill
And 18264 is the PID listening to the port 8080
So the task you have to kill is the pid for the particular port

C:\Users\Niroshan>netstat -ano|findstr "PID :8080"

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 18264

taskkill /pid 18264 /f
