OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.What to do?

I created a simple socket program by python by creating two different files Server.py and a Client.py and tried to connect it by s.connect((host,port)) but

OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

occurs

I have looked up many solutions on the net regarding this issue which could be due to Firewall issues, Malware in system, outbound firewall settings , Run by Administrator, even checked if the port was not in use by netstat in cmd but none of them solved my issue.

plz help

Error Image

This is my code:

#SERVER.py
import socket

s= socket.socket()
host= socket.gethostname()
port = 5000
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(1)
print(host)
print('Waiting for any incoming connections...')
conn, addr = s.accept()
print(addr,'Has connected to the server')

#CLIENT.py
import socket

s = socket.socket()
host=input('Enter host address:')
port=5000
s.connect((host,port))
print('Connected...')

Try localhost, if host is not working. Like for eg. host='127.0.0.1' #( The server's hostname or IP address)and use a port >1023 (As those are non-privileged ports) If its still not working, you can try changing your network and try the same steps. If any further issue occurs regarding the same error there must be a issue with your system, for that try factory reset. Then it will work 100% Best of luck.
