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

Stop IIS if not require. It is working for me.

  1. Open cmd.exe by Run as administrator
  2. Type iisreset /stop then hit enter
  3. Restart wamp Server
  4. Enjoy :)

All you need to do is install the Apache and MySQL services.

Start WampServer

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Services -> Install Service left click wampmanager -> MySQL -> Services -> Install Service

Stop WampServer Start WampServer


You should also check the HOSTS file. It comes empty I think in W10.

Make sure you have at least

127.0.0.1  localhost
::1  localhost

without '#` comments in column 1

Also you may well have inadvertantly installed IIS. MS seem to think this is a good idea lately. Check and if you are not using it, uninstall it.
