❔ IISExpress keeps failing to start site

I am running this command based on Rider's run config:
C:/Program Files/IIS Express/iisexpress.exe /config:C:/Dev/App/.idea/config/applicationhost.config /site:LexisAdvance.Online.Web /apppool:Clr4IntegratedAppPool /trace:debug

I keep getting this debug output logged

Enter 'Q' to stop IIS Express

I have tried using netstat as well as TCPView and can't fine port 61700 in use anywhere. I have looked all over, with ChatGPT's help and without and I can't find anything besides the usual netstat advice. I'm trying to avoid changing the port no. because the one I'm using is set up in a few projects
