For some reason I can’t start Azure Storage Emulator locally.

> .\AzureStorageEmulator.exe start -inprocess
Windows Azure Storage Emulator 5.10.0.0 command line tool
Service Status: Blob http://127.0.0.1:10000/ False
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help
Error: Unable to start the storage emulator.

The port 10000 is not taken, according to this:

> Get-NetTCPConnection | ? LocalPort -eq 10000

Solution

Run this command:

> netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1

IP address successfully added

I have no idea what I just did, but it worked.
