Cannot bind to some ports due to permission denied

The reason is that Hyper-V takes over these ports, to prevent it from happening do the following:

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V (will have to restart)
netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=<your port> numberofports=1
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All

The original solution is here.

If after that you still can't bind to the port do the following:

A faulty Windows upgrade is the reason for the problems with reserved tcp ports.See https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3171#issuecomment-554587817

With this the problem should be fixed:netsh int ipv4 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384

That would explain why a clean install fixes these type of problems.

windows sockets windows-10 port

If you face this issue on Win10 2004 that's because of of an issue in this update do the following

netsh int ipv[46] set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\hns\State /v EnableExcludedPortRange /d 0 /f

I face this on opening Jetbrains IDEs and and many other program that use sockets
