If you are dealing with persistent issues where ports do not close even after killing the process, it could be helpful to look into firewall settings or service configurations. On Windows, the netsh tool is particularly useful for resetting firewall rules or configurations related to problematic ports. Ensuring proper permissions for port usage can also prevent unnecessary errors.

I think the article could benefit from a section on best practices for managing long-term port usage. For example, you can configure applications to use non-conflicting ports during installation or initialization. Also, consider regularly auditing open ports to identify unexpected or unauthorized services.

I completely agree about the importance of keeping Num Lock on for some shortcuts. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s caught me off guard a few times while using the plus key.

I like that tip about combining filtering with inserting rows. It really does make data management more logical and cleaner.

Exactly, especially with Excel 365 updates. They’ve streamlined some shortcuts recently, but older setups might not support them.
