What is Running on Port Windows?

The question "What is running on port Windows?" is a bit ambiguous. It could be interpreted in two ways:

1. What programs are running on a specific port on a Windows computer?

To find out what program is using a specific port on your Windows computer, you can use the Netstat command. This command displays active TCP connections, listening ports, and UDP connections.

Here's how to use Netstat:

1. Open the Command Prompt (CMD) by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
2. Type netstat -a -b and press Enter. This will list all active connections, including the listening ports and the associated programs.
3. Look for the port number you're interested in and identify the program listed next to it.

2. What services are running on a Windows server?

To find out what services are running on a Windows server, you can use the Services application:

1. Open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows Key + R.
2. Type services.msc and press Enter.
3. This will open the Services window, which lists all the services installed on your computer.
4. You can filter the list by name, description, or status to find the specific service you're looking for.

You can also use the Task Manager to see what programs are running on your computer. To open Task Manager, right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager. You can then switch to the Details tab to see a list of all running processes, including their port numbers.

By using these tools, you can easily identify what programs or services are running on specific ports on your Windows computer or server.
