Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted

Constantly getting the same error while just trying to launch my thick client application through Winnium. My application has WinForms/WPF. Same code works on Calculator but does not works on the application I am working on. The exception that I get is below :

The driver session did not quit properly which is causing this error. You can end the process running the driver on port 9999 or you can open Winnium in new port.

Open command prompt and enter netstat -a -o -n which will display list of all active jobs

Get the PID for the job running on port 9999 and then run below command taskkill /F /PID ******

I know this is not best solution, but it helps
