Seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/issues/2216

@mehdy-ghm sounds like you already have something running on port 5001. This looks like a regression on Windows, since the Desktop app should be able to detect that and suggest running on a different port.

Does the problem go away when you reboot your machine? If not, are you able to identify what is running on port 5001? See how: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/issues/2216#issuecomment-1199189648
