Apache Server (xampp) doesn’t run on Windows 10 (Port 80)

I had the same problem on windows 10, IIS/10.0 was using port 80

To solve that:

  • find service “W3SVC”
  • disable it, or set it to “manual”

French name is: “Service de publication World Wide Web

English name is: “World Wide Web Publishing Service

german name is: “WWW-Publishingdienst” – thanks @fiffy

Polish name is: “Usługa publikowania w sieci WWW” – thanks @KrzysDan

Russian name is “Служба веб-публикаций” – thanks @Kreozot

Italian name is “Servizio Pubblicazione sul Web” – thanks @Claudio-Venturini

Español name is “Servicio de publicación World Wide Web” – thanks @Daniel-Santarriaga

Portuguese (Brazil) name is “Serviço de publicação da World Wide Web” – thanks @thiago-born


Alternatives :

  • Another solution is to shutodwn the service via an admin console with command sc stop W3SVC
