How to release port 3000 occupied by create-react-app?

Question

Windows

Windows 10 system, Create-react-app 1.3.3
Possibly a dumb question. But still. When executing npm start create-react-app starts the local server on port 3000, however, even when the console is closed, the port remains busy, which prevents another React application from running on it. Of course, rebooting helps, however, I would like to release it in a more "civilized" way.
UPD: Checked. No, Ctrl+C doesn't exactly help. The solution of explicitly setting a different port to some extent helps to cope with the problem, but still I would like to know how to close the running application. At least by stopping the process.

Answer 1

I figured it out myself. It is enough to kill the corresponding Node.js process in the task manager. I haven't found any more elegant way yet.

Answer 2

You can edit package.json , scripts section and explicitly specify a different port there:
"start": "set PORT=3005 && react-scripts start"

Answer 3

If you have Conemy, then there is a hotkey that ends the ports used, processes:
Win + Alt + Break
The console is not necessary to close, you can safely run "npm start", "gulp", "yarn", etc.
If it doesn't work, then look for button along this path:
Active console>close or kill>kill active process
Good luck!

Answer 4

First Ctrl + C in the console, then just close the console)
