Laravel开发服务器无法运行Windows

Question

I installed laravel on my computer, which works fine through PhpStorm, the laravel commands in the Git command prompt, as well as the composer and the php artisan ones work just fine. But for the command

php artisan serve

it gives me an address which doesn't work

Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>

if I try to access the address, it says that "this site can't be reached". by the way, I'm using Chrome why this may be and how could I make it to work?

Thank you in advance.
