Seeing it on your PC

A game, the Xbox app or Game Bar using 3074 during online play.

Should you block it?

Normal for games. If the Xbox app reports a strict NAT type, the fix is usually on the router (UPnP or a port forward), not in Windows.

Check it on your PC

Run this in PowerShell to see what is using port 3074 right now, and which program owns it:

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3074 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object LocalAddress,LocalPort,RemoteAddress,RemotePort,State,@{n='Process';e={(Get-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).ProcessName}}
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3074 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object LocalAddress,LocalPort,@{n='Process';e={(Get-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).ProcessName}}

No output means nothing is using the port at the moment. For every connection at once, paste netstat -ano into the netstat explainer.
