WAMPServer not working properly on Windows 10, "could not perform service action"

Recently I have upgraded from windows 7 64 to windows 10 64. Before that I've had WAMPServer running like a charm, but now it doesn't work. Whenever I launch it I get the server offline. Clicking on the "put online" results only in getting the "could not perform service action" error pop up. I have already tried reinstalling Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, renaming the localhost and listen from 80 to 8080, turning off skype, none of these worked.

Does anybody know of a different solution to fixing this error?
