Port 80 used by Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0

Question

The port 80 is used by Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 and cannot be stopped. I have tried many solutions, but no one worked. Here is what I have done. Also, here is what is on the page :

Not Found

HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.

IIS:

Has been disabled, and it’s not installed on my system (was before).

Skype:

Don’t use the port 80, and it is close.

netstat:

On run of netstat -ano | find ":80 ", here what I have:

  TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50105    104.93.165.59:80       CLOSE_WAIT      2944
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50106    96.7.200.149:80        CLOSE_WAIT      2944
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50107    96.7.200.149:80        CLOSE_WAIT      2944
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50215    24.200.239.155:80      TIME_WAIT       0
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50216    24.200.239.155:80      TIME_WAIT       0
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50217    24.200.239.155:80      TIME_WAIT       0
  TCP    192.168.1.142:50218    24.200.239.155:80      TIME_WAIT       0
  some Chrome things here...
  TCP    [::]:80                [::]:0                 LISTENING       4

After removing 2944 (WinStore.Mobile.exe), and removed Chrome, we can only see the system (4) and 0 using this port.

SQL Server:

I don’t have the SQL Server installed, and nothing in "Services" is related to SQL.

I don’t know what to do, to make this port accessible for Apache installations. If you need more info, don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks.

So, there is an app still bound to port 80 on any interface (first line of netstat).

Try running command prompt as an administrator again and add the -b option (so, -anob) and it should tell you what application is actually being bound rather than just that the port is in use.
