I am trying to run the Redis server on Windows. It seems to me that it performs all the steps according to the suggestions in this topic.

But I do not see this window:

In my situation, after running the file redis-server.exe it closes automatically in about one second.

However, the redis-cli.exe file works correctly and displays itself correctly.

How can I solve this problem and run a Redis server?

    Surely there is already a redis-server instance running, maybe on the background or as a windows service. So the second instance you try to run will fail trying to open sockets and will close. – thepirat000 Jun 29 '19 at 17:52
  • How to solve the problem, then? quit currently working in the background? Can I somehow run two? – Maddie Graham Jun 29 '19 at 19:45

    You can run multiple instances but they must run on different ports. You can specify the listening port via command-line, i.e. `start redis-server.exe --port 7777` – thepirat000 Jun 29 '19 at 21:19

Open Task manager > click Details tab and scroll till you find "redis-server.exe". Right click on "redis-server.exe" and click "End Process". Try again it should work now.

I faced the exact same problem. I noticed that there is another 'hidden' running redis server because I was able to use the redis-cli to get info about it. I was using redis desktop manager before, so I uninstalled it and restarted my PC, an now it is working like a charm. Also something else that I had a running redis docker container. So check your docker environment first.
