A constant Conflicts occurred

Guidelines

The community version and the desktop version are downloaded at the same time. The community version can be used normally, but the desktop version keeps showing ：

Conflicts occurred
DBMS Movie DBMS can not be started due to conflicts with external processes.
To fix this problem, let us change these port configurations:
bolt: 7688 → 7689.

However, Even if I click fix configuration, the prompt box still keeps popping up.

Example bug report

Neo4j Desktop Version: 1.5.7
Neo4j community Version: 5.6.0
Operating System: macOS 11.6.1

Steps to reproduce

1. stop Neo4j community
2. open Neo4j Desktop
3. Start a database
4. Pop-up alert box
5. Keep clicking the button “fix configuration”, but it doesn't work, and the alert keeps popping up

I sincerely hope that someone can help me solve this problem

I had a similar incident on Windows 10. After troubleshooting, I realised the ports needed to run the app does not close after I close the app, so when I open it again it is unable to connect to those ports hence the error. I had to close the ports manually.
The simplest solution is to look for the java (java.exe) program running neo4j in task manager and close it there after closing the app itself. It will close the ports as well and you will not have a problem when you open it the next time.

Not sure why such issues are not fixed that keep away lot of folks from beginning to use neo4j. Even though huge effort are given towards improving the capabilities of neo4j including algorithms and features, such basic bugs keep away many from adopting neo4j as their preferred graph platform.

I still have the problem here, I'm using Neo4J Desktop 1.5.9. I was going through the basic course when I closed the application and tried to reopen it later and it was impossible to reopen the DBMS movie.
I also tried kill "java.exe" or restarting my computer, but none of that worked for me.

How to fix this please?

Same issue here.
This looks like an old non solved issue.
A serious hurtle for people discovering Neo4j
