For me the solution was a much simpler one. In my Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, I right click on the web project, chose properties and then navigated to the “web” tab. From there I changed the Project URL to another port number. For example, if it was http://localhost:1052 – I changed it to http://localhost:4356.
Not sure if this helps anyone else, but it worked for me – hopefully it will work for you too!
