Windows 10: Windows activation use port 80 - insecure HTTP

We observed that Windows activation uses port 80 HTTP, which is considered insecure. Given this, can we disable port 80 through the firewall? Will this impact Windows activation, we have already enabled port 443 HTTPS?

System process blocks Port 80

You clearly don't understand the problem here. But I was able to solve it by doing the following:

• Activate IIS
• In Services disable the IIS service
• Reboot
• Port 80 is no longer blocked by the System process

 

Network Services Started Using Port 80

After upgrading to Windows 10 I noticed my web server stop running. After doing a port check I came to notice that the Network Services started using port 80. I rather not have to switch my web server 's from port 80 because I have a few sites setup in a
vhost and I rather not have to reconfigure all of them.

I would like to have the network services which include:

• Cryptographic Services
• DNS Client
• Network Location Awareness
• Workstation

I already attemted to switch the port and my server loads but none of vhost domain did. Anyway to prevent them from using port 80. I am getting desperate.

 

Bug? SYSTEM process "System and compressed memory" using port 80???

This article solve my problem.

It appears there are a couple of different applications that can cause this same problem;

• IIS is still running.
• SQL Server Reporting Services is running.
• Web Deployment Agent Service is running (this was my problem).
