Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or listening port. In some cases well-known executables host multiple independent components, and in these cases the sequence of components involved in creating the connection or listening port is displayed.

To find that, use the -b switch. Using the -b switch requires an elevated command prompt or PowerShell prompt. You will get the error The requested operation requires elevation if you use the -b switch in a non-elevated prompt.

Using PowerShell gives you a lot more control to see just what you want, rather than having to scroll through long lists of output. The only reason you need to elevate a PowerShell console is to see the program that owns the connection like the netstat -b parameter. Run Get-NetTcpConnection. You can now see the same general information that netstat provided you by now; by default, you have information on the OwningProcess the -b switch on netstat and the AppliedSetting field, which relates to the network profile the connection is a part of.

Pipe the output to Select-Object showing all properties. Now, find the process names for the OwningProcess fields. Very util. You need to be an administrator or in that group to run this. Can also be launched from Task Manager's Performance tab, at least in Windows Have not checked other versions. Show 4 more comments.

Also, this doesn't require admin privelges! I love TCPView. It has been my Go-To since windows XP! Add a comment. Find the pid of the process running in the port number e.

Replace "port" above with your port, ex "" — jbooker. I still get that error with PS 5. Do you know what's happening? Find the Port that you are listening on under "Local Address" Look at the process name directly under that. Open Windows Task Manager. Select the Processes tab. Look for the PID you noted when you did the netstat in step 1. Select PID. Cyborg Cyborg 1, 12 12 silver badges 12 12 bronze badges.

Good answer, but you should change it to findstr if not,you would even find apps what contain the number e. First we find the process id of that particular task which we need to eliminate in order to get the port free: Type netstat -n -a -o After executing this command in the Windows command line prompt cmd , select the pid which I think the last column.

The last column of the output shows the pid of the processes. The above output shows the pid is 4 for the process listening on port The second method uses PowerShell command to find out process running on specific port on Windows.
