404 means page not found, so the server is running. the page you're asking for is just not available. what is offline is probably the associated alias or your wamp configure virtual hosts and "localhost" is not among them

Doesn't mean the Wamp is running....

it does not mean that mysql is running or php working in any way but it does mean that apache is. apache is the one saying "resource not found"

The result pid after executing the following command:
netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:8443 is 1700

Task mgr shows wampapache as the program using that pid.

But wampserver still shows 404 when clicking on localhost.
obviously. you'd never get a 404 if apache was not running. you're just asking for a page that does not exist. you can have a full debug in the log but you most likely either typed something weird in the address bar, or have an issue with aliases or vhosts. not knowing the content of your address bar or apache's config, it is difficult to help. if you still can't figure it out, please provide the required info

Web Servers

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
