    @silentdevnull Please try opening up the same page in incognito mode.

    I have tried private mode in edge and it was the same result.

    Can confirm I have the same issue - have been able to confirm that there is a process listening on port 8080 - so that's at least something.

    Will see what I get it I telnet directly to that service.

    If you try to open http://localhost:8080/ without running docfx serve at all, do you get status 404 then too? If you do, that means there's a different web server interfering.
