Hello,
Please your attention for a 'funny' problem.
A couple of month ago I decided to upgrade my Windows 10 to Windows 11.
After the upgrade WAMP refused to start, my laptop was showing a couple of times a MSDOS screen during startup and that was it.
I found out that Windows 11 needed the latest MS Visual C++ 2015-2022 and after I installed this redistributable the nice green WAMP Server icon was again present.
Now the 'funny' part, 2 weeks ago my laptop showed the same behaviour, as when I upgraded it before to Windows 11.
After I started the WAMP server the system showed again a few black MSDOS sceens and that was it, the WAMP Server Icon didn't pop up so it looked like my previous problem so I started to dig in the redistributables but every thing was up to date (I ran successfully check_vcredist).
I installed again WAMP (and yes I deleted the previous installation, ran it as administrator etc because I have done this several times and installed it several times before)
I checked all possible tricks, deinstalled previous (Windows)updates etc. etc it did not help.
Be at my wits I type 'localhost' in my browser and I was surprised to see the complete WAMP PhpMyadmin page, it looked that every thing was running fine (and that was true)!!!
With this WAMP Server web page I was able (it's a bit harder) to install a complete new Wordpress site so skipping the WAMP server (green) Icon at all.
So I am back with a working local site but still the startup fase isn't what it should be, no WAMP Icon at all, why? I guess it has something to do (again) with Windows 11 (upgrade/KB)
What's wrong?
Thanks for any tips.
P.S. I am running
Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2
OS Build 22000.469
Windows experience Pack 1000.22000.469.0
By the way, in my old Shuttle bare bone running on Windows 10 WAMP behaviour is as it should be, a nice green icon in my system tray.
