{'ERROR: Could not start server, is another program on udp:53?; on windows 10

Hi,
I just faced this problem today "{'ERROR: Could not start server, is another program on udp:53?;" even on the latest version? before i never got this issue, also i had checked if there is any other app or service access this port but i did not find any thing?
Best regards,

It's entirely possible the DNS thread is hanging open from the last time it was run, it still happens sometimes. You can use netstat -a -o –n to find the PID of the process using the port and taskkill /F /PID {your PID here} to kill the process.

I want to look into a more failsafe way of closing threads or at least a way to detect if the program running on the port is an old version of the host and I can safely kill it.

Thanks for your fast response, tried this and it worked for me.
and hope that you can implement this solution you had suggested in the next version sooner :)
