Auto router must use this port to communicatie with the editor.

I ended up finding the issue, Docker for Windows (more specifically Hyper-V) had an excludedportrange blocking out TCP Ports 3495 - 3594.  I disabled Hyper-V and rebooted and was able to start successfully.

For anyone else that might run into a similar issue:

1. Run the following from an elevated console:

netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp

1. You will get an output similar to the following:

Protocol tcp Port Exclusion Ranges

Start Port    End Port
----------    --------
      3495        3594
      5357        5357
     54288       54288

* - Administered port exclusions.

1. If you try to delete the range manually, you will most likely get Access Denied

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> netsh interface ipv4 delete excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=3495 numberofports=100
Access is denied.

1. Disable hyper-v, this will require you to restart your machine.

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

1. Once you have restarted, reserve the auto-router port so Hyper-V won't steal it again:

netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=3597 numberofports=1

1. Re-Enable Hyper-V, this will require you to restart your machine.

dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All

1. Once you reboot, you should be good and Autorouter should work as expected.

Hopefully this helps someone else who might run into a similar issue in the future.

@billy_5987,

Thanks for posting back with the steps you found to fix the issue.

One question however.

What is meant by the term "elevated consolse"?

Autocorrupt strikes again.

"elevated console"?

@andyfierman
elevated console = command prompt/ "shell" with administrator rights on windows

Correct, elevated console is either CMD or Powershell with administrator.

@Xenons, @billy_5987,

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure anyone who reads this understands the terminology (me included!)

:)
