WampServer

Hi,

I've been using Wamp 2.5, 32 bit version for quite a while, but have just switched to WampServer 3.1.3 64 bit. on Windows 10 Pro.

The Wamp works fine, but each time I start the software, I get a brief flash of a black window, which never used to happen with the 32 bit version.

I was running Win 10 version 1803, but have just rolled back to a disk image of V.1607. I've carried out a fresh install of WampServer 3.1.3 and noticed in the install notes that is says the following - "... After launching Wampserver by its shortcut, you will see the brief appearance of a window, then you must get the Wampmanager icon in the notification area at the bottom right of the screen...."

I'm guessing from this that the black window I'm getting is a normal start procedure? Here's a quick screen recording to show what is happening - [vimeo.com]

Hope someone can advise is this is normal for the 64 bit version.

Hi,

Yes the Command window that pops up and then dissapears is now part the normal proceedure of starting WAMPServer.
