Answer 1

By default, Azure storage emulator is using port number 10000, 10001, 10002 for Blob, Queue and Table services respectively.

If you have existing applications using these port numbers and can't be changed, you can resolve the port conflict by changing Azure storage emulator default port numbers to avoid port conflict as the steps below:

1. Stop your Azure storage emulator service
2. Go to your storage emulator default installation folder, which is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator
3. Open the AzureStorageEmulator.exe.config file for edit
4. Edit the default port numbers as shown below
5. Start your Azure storage emulator service.

You should expect the Azure storage emulator to start successfully without any port conflict.

Hope it helps!
