Description
See #573 for the reasoning.
It would be good to find out if there is a "safe" port, and what does cause Hyper-V to reserve the ranges it does.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the reasoning in issue #573 and investigate which TCP port is safe on Windows, including the Hyper-V-reserved ranges mentioned here. No source file or test is identified in the issue; done means agreeing on a different default port and updating the relevant Windows behavior with coverage for the selected default.
