Hi, how can I fix this issue when starting up? Doesn’t work with or without admin rights, latest version:

Likely because you’re already running something on that port (maybe another server instance?). Check your task manager for other running aw-server processes.

That was the issue for others getting the same WinError here (different project) anyway: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/python-sample-send-mail/issues/3

Thanks, i tried to restart the machine, but wasn’t looking into the task manager.
It was running all the time, in fact aw-qt.exe was in autostart twice.

So you 're right, there is no issue :slight_smile:
