Re: Azure Storage Emulator error and does not start
Check if you are running **BitTorrent/uTorrent or similar software using port 10000**.
Check Steve Marx' blog post about the issue.

In case that post disappears, the command to check if any other software is using that port is:
```
C:\Users\smarx>netstat -p tcp -ano | findstr :10000
TCP 127.0.0.1:10000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3672
```
