I used WAMP in the past without problem.
I needed to use skype for once, so I did and now the Apache service of WAMP won't start. When I test port 80 using the WAMP tools, I get this message:
***** Test which uses port 80 *****
===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====
Test for TCP
Port 80 is not found associated with TCP protocol
Test for TCPv6
Port 80 is not found associated with TCP protocol
===== Tested by attempting to open a socket on port 80 =====
Your port 80 seems not actually used.
Unable to initiate a socket connection
Error number: 10061 -
I tried changing the port Skype uses, but this is not possible in the Windows 10 version. I installed Skype Classic and changed the port there, no result. Then changed Apache to port 8080, without result, so I changed it back to 80.
I fully uninstalled both Skype and Skype classic, then I uninstalled WAMP and installed it fresh again. Even after the removal of Skype and resinstallation of WAMP I still get the same error message.
I also tried to kill the tasks using port 80, but the only task I can actually kill is my firefox browser, result of netstat below.
C:\Windows\system32>netstat -aon | findstr :80

Any help is appreciated.
