Please check PRLauncher.log next to the PRLauncher.exe for further errors.

Make sure you are running PRLauncher as administrator and check that no other application is binding on localhost TCP port 29900.
You can check if another application is using that port with this powershell command:

Code: Select all

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 29900).OwningProcess

That means some windows service is blocking the port and we need to find its name. For that open your task manager go to "Services" tab and then search a service that uses the Id reported by the command above (e.g. 5276 in what you posted).

I cannot find any documentation that this service requires the 29900 port. Maybe it just grabs a random port on startup. Please try restarting your PC or the service and then launch PR again.
If that does not work, I suggest to disable the service when you want to play PR and I will continue to look why it is blocking this port.
