WampServer 3.2.0 (last Windows 7 compatible version I found) was installed today on an old PC using right-click "Run as Administrator" and no error was displayed at all, all seemed normal. http://localhost works and reports thru index.php that everything is fine except PHP config needs to be refreshed by right-clicking WampManager > Refresh, so I was about to do that when I realized that absolutely NOTHING happens when left/right clicking the WAMP tray icon AT ALL. No error, no nothing. It's just a brick.
I have installed all the required x86 and x64 MVC++ redistributables and I have confirmed this by running check_vcredist.exe
I have tried rebooting and starting Wampserver64.exe as an administrator but it doesn't change anything.
I uninstalled, manually removed the e:/wamp folder (my install dir) reinstalled, but nothing fixes this aggravating issue. It's so weird that EVERYTHING WORKS perfectly, except this stupid tray icon menu?!
Any ideas?
I've already tried:
Wamp icon is green but not reacting on click

Well, it turns out that the WampServer installer gives a lot of instructions, but apparently skips giving the most important one: WampServer DOES NOT work on an exFAT partition!
I found that extremely relevant bit of information on this random page: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-set-up-your-own-wampserver/
