I had WAMP working happily on windows 7 as my local development server. Upgraded to Windows 10 today and had an orange WAMP icon on my taskbar. Turns out Windows had installed and ran IIS automatically (why?).
I disabled IIS, restarted, started WAMP and the icon turned green. However, going to localhost results in a connection refused message. I used the 'Test Port 80' option on the WAMP menu and it says that yes, Server: Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) PHP/5.3.10 is listening on port 80.
The Apache error log doesn't display anything helpful.

WAMP is an acronym that stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It's a software stack which means installing WAMP installs Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your operating system (Windows in the case of WAMP).
With some windows updates it might occur the need to repeat this operation

When I upgraded to Windows 10, Wamp had a port problem with Apache.
Run cmd as Administrator, and enter:
iisreset /stop Then Apache > Service > Install Service will prompt you to press Enter to install as normal.
Once installed Restart All Services and you should be up and running.
