Answer 1

You need to change hostname in Windows to remove any not UTF-8 characters.

Answer 2

first of all, I assume you are using the windows command-line tool as your shell.
If so, then run the command-line tool as administrator and
cd into your project directory, switch into your working(virtual environment),
then run the python manage.py runserver command again.
With these few steps you can startup your development server.
