#STOP SKYPE FROM RUNNING ON WINDOWS 8 UPDATE#
Update Your Anti-Virus if Windows 10 Disk Is Running at 100%.I read a post some where were the writer suggested to use port "9080" but it did not work for me. Also you have both Apache & IIS Express running in the same Windows 10 PC. As you know now you have to get to your Apache server by using "localhost:8080" instead of "localhost". Quit XAMPP Control Panel, then start it again and from "Action" start Apache & MySQL. Save the file from "Save As" & choose "All files" to not save it as text from "Save As Type" & the "Encoding" should be "UTF-8". Search for "80" then change that to "8080" in both "Listen 80" and "ServerName localhost:80". The I start XAMPP Control Panel click on "Config", then choose "Apache nf". In Command Prompt typed services.msc, this loads "Windows Services" where I located "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and stop it. Net 2013 development so I do the following: In my case I need both XAMPP for Apache development & IIS Express for. If you want to prevent the IIS server from running automatically when you start up Windows in the future, right-click "World Wide Web Publishing Serivce" and select " Properties." In the window that appears, locate the "Startup type" dropdown, and set it "Manual." Click "Apply" or "OK" to save your changes. If you only want to turn off the IIS server for this Windows session, but want it to run automatically again the next time you start up Windows, right-click "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and choose " Stop." The server will stop, and Port 80 will be freed up for Apache (or whatever else you want to use it for). The one you want is " Services." Double-click it.Īnother window will open called "Services." Locate the one named " World Wide Web Publishing Service." Some other users in this thread have listed what it is called in other languages, if your list is not in English.


You can either hit return or click on the "Administrative Tools" link that Windows finds for you.Ī control panel window will open with a list of tools.

I found the easiest way there was to click on the search button next to the start menu button in the Windows 10 taskbar and type "Administrative Tools". In order to disable it or modify how the service runs, you need to know where to find "Services" in your system. I suppose that's because Windows 10 runs IIS as a service. Paaacman's response refers to the IIS server as "W3SVC", or the "World Wide Web Publishing Service". In order to use Apache Server on that port, IIS must be stopped. Windows 10 runs IIS (Internet Information Services, Microsoft's web server software) automatically during Startup on Port 80. I just wanted to add some helpful detail for users like myself who don't know their way around Windows 10 as well.
