cmd cant get what is listening to port 8080

Question

been having an issue for a while where I cannot start java servers due to port 8080 already being in use. Searching around I have found answers which tells me to find what process is occupying the port, and kill it. Sounds easy enough.

However: No matter what netstat or other command I type trying to display process reveals anything on port 8080! if I try netstat -ano | find "8080", it returns nothing. If I restart my computer, and start the server quickly, it works, but its really annoying to develop like this. Its obvious something is binding the port, but I just can't figure what.

I am sorry if this seems like a duplicate, but the question differs by having a hidden process taking the port.

This is on Windows 10, build 15063

Answer 1

use the following command should be:

netstat -ano |findstr 8080
