Check the Task Manager make sure that All Processes from All Users is checked off, find out from here whose using it and end task it.
You may try going into to Services then find Windows Firewall/Internet Connected, stop the service and restart see if this helps.
If this doesn't work right click the windows ICS from Services go to Log On tab and Select This Account an type Administrator if you are logged on as an Admin and then the Admin Password then click OK. Stop and Restart ICS again.
