How to upgrade to these versions?
@Quy Those versions are available from Wampserver forum sticky WAMPServer 3 All you need to know and presented better in the alternative repo at http://wampserver.aviatechno.net

The message 'The system cannot find the path specified' must be a message from Windows 10 or one of the installed applications, not Joomla. The utility sfc /scannow repaired a small number of directories, reporting for example "Warning: Overlap: Directory ??\C:\Program Files (x86)\ is owned twice or has its security set twice" but those fixes did not get rid of the loop in user:add. Closing this now.
