1) Go to (Open) Command Prompt (Press Window + R then type cmd Run this).
2) Run following commands
For all listening ports
netstat -aon | find /i "listening"
Apply port filter
netstat -aon |find /i "listening" |find "8080"
Finally with the PID we can run the following command to kill the process
3) Copy PID from result set
taskkill /F /PID
Ex: taskkill /F /PID 189
Sometimes you need to run Command Prompt with Administrator privileges
Done !!! you can start your service now.

very useful - coming from ease of using linux shell commands *to* windows .... above command have been very useful – exexzian Feb 01 '18 at 15:49

2Or you could go a bit unnecessarily mad and put it all together on one line like so (adjust for port number!) `for /f "skip=1 tokens=5" %1 in ('netstat -aon ^| find "8080"') do taskkill /F /PID %1` – Scala Enthusiast Apr 27 '18 at 08:35

1@ScalaEnthusiast I would gladly do that if I was comfortable in batch scripting. To me it seems more complex. – Paramvir Singh Karwal Dec 25 '18 at 10:31

1I would add a double colon in front of the port to prevent an accidental lookup in the PID column. So: `for /f "skip=1 tokens=5" %1 in ('netstat -aon ^| find ":8080"') do taskkill /F /PID %1` – dforce May 20 '19 at 14:48

netstat -ano | findstr :3010
taskkill /F /PID
But it won't work for me
then I tried taskkill -PID <processorid> -F
Example:- taskkill -PID 33192 -F
Here 33192 is the processorid and it works

Based on all the info on the post, I created a little script to make the whole process easy.
@ECHO OFF
netstat -aon |find /i "listening"
SET killport=
SET /P killport=Enter port:
IF "%killport%"=="" GOTO Kill
netstat -aon |find /i "listening" | find "%killport%"
:Kill
SET killpid=
SET /P killpid=Enter PID to kill:
IF "%killpid%"=="" GOTO Error
ECHO Killing %killpid%!
taskkill /F /PID %killpid%
GOTO End
:Error
ECHO Nothing to kill! Bye bye!!
:End
pause
