I'm running WAMP 3.2.2 64 bit. I was running PHP 7.2.10 but some time ago installed PHP 7.4.6
I've just noticed that I am unable to update any themes or plugins in WordPress installs. When checking Site Health it states "The optional module, curl, is not installed, or has been disabled".
I have installed PHP 7.4.9, but get the same issue with curl being reported missing or disabled.
When I roll back to PHP 7.2.10 everything is fine. with curl module working again.
WAMP/PHP/PHP extensions show that curl is ticked. I have tried unticking and reselecting curl, but that has no impact.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

I've just spotted there is a later version of WAMP. I'll try and upgrade to that and see what happens!

It looks like I needed to update apache. That seems to have fixed the problem.
