Issue:
Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it (10061)

Preface:

This issue occurs when you are either using a sideloading application such as WSA-Sideloader or WSAPacman, or when you try to connect to a device using adb.exe via Android SDK Platform Tools. This issue arises due to an issue with the inability of Hyper V to reserve port 58526 causing the issue, as seen below.

Solution

This is a bug with the subsystem itself, restarting the PC will usually fix it. But, if you still get this error, try these steps:

  • 1. Make sure WSA is turned off and disable WSA autostart in Task Manager ---> Startup Apps before proceeding
  • 2. Disable Hyper-V (if it is enabled) using the command
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
  • 3. Reboot your PC
  • 4. Reserve port 58526 so Hyper-V doesn't reserve it back using the command
netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=58526 numberofports=1
  • 5. Re-enable Hyper-V (if it was previously enabled) using the command dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All and reboot your PC

Hope this works for you!
