Answer 1

Check your local firewall. I found an update of the firewall in my AV software to cause the same error. When I disable the firewall, the demon start succeeds.

I had the same problem on 3 different PCs. I disabled the firewall and everything worked just fine. Even if my IDE is not blocked by the firewall.

I am using BullGuard's firewall on Windows 10 Home. Maybe there is a better way to solve this problem, because I actually don't want to disable the firewall everytime I start programming with gradle and java.

At least this worked just fine for the beginning.
