TCP 127.0.0.1:65361 jdam:8443 ESTABLISHED 8400

C:\Users\PC>

To the extreme right of each line is the PID of the application running and using that port. Simply open the task manager and ensure the column heading "PID" is selected then look for the application and end the task. Your application will not run.
