IIS has replaced "localhost" when trying to use XAMPP apache server

I'm new to this so please bear with me. I was working with XAMPP one when I tried using WAMP. I didn't like it, so I reverted to XAMPP. However, I noticed that typing in "localhost"in the address bar no longer delivers me to the XAMPP home page, diverting me instead to IIS Windows. 127.0.0.1 still work though but I want localhost back if possible.

Another thing, WAMP is already uninstalled

  • To deactivate IIS open Internet Information System (IIS) Manager.

  • In the right hand side pane you will see Actions pane.

  • Click on stop.

Or you can use command prompt as administrator and run this.

NET STOP "W3SVC"

You can not use Apache http server and IIS to run on same port. i.e 80
