How to Stop Port 8080 in Windows

Port 8080 is a common port used by web servers and other applications to listen for incoming connections. If you are not using a web server or any other application that needs to listen on port 8080, then you can close it to improve your computer's security.

To stop port 8080 in Windows, you can use the following steps:

  1. Open the Windows Command Prompt as administrator.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Port 8080" new enable=no

  1. Close the Command Prompt.

Port 8080 should now be closed. You can verify this by using the following command in the Command Prompt:

If the command returns no results, then port 8080 is closed.
