This has long bugged me. after upgrading to Windows 8, i already cannot run my XAMPP server without using ports other than port 80, since a process called "NT Kernel & System" is using it. It's a system process so I cannot disable it. I don't have any IIS or Web Server installed so I am pretty frustrated how to use that Port 80.
If anyone of you who knows how to change the port "NT Kernel & System" uses, that would be great!
Thanks!

Go into your settings then go to services and at the bottom "TURN OFF-- World Wide Web Publishing service". Each time your port 80 shows this go and do it again. It is the only problem and Windows Updates is what switches it on at times.
From Services Manager (run: services. msc), stop and disable these Windows Services which are known to bind to port 80. Double click Service, and change 'Startup Type' to 'Disabled'… skype also using port 80 as default setting and you can uncheck it.
Ntoskrnl.exe (Short for Windows NT operating system kernel) otherwise known as kernel image, is a system application file that provides the kernel and executive layers of the Windows NT kernel space, and is responsible for various system services such as hardware virtualization, process and memory management, thus ...
I ran into the same problem with NT Kernel listening on port 80 when I wanted to get my own application listening on that port.
After stopping
the NT Kernel was still listening on port 80
It was finally when I stopped the "Web Deployment Agent Service" that it stopped listening on 80.
Note: use netstat -bano in an elevated command prompt to see what apps are listening on which ports.
