I have faced kind of similar issue, I have installed wampserver upgrades from https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/?lang=en. I needed php 7.3 and 7.4, after installing the php upgrades, those new versions were not being reflected in wampserver traymenu (left click on wamp icon->php-versions). After spending quite some time looking into this, finally could fix this by following steps :

Clearing logs (right click on wampserver icon -> tools -> empty logs) [my php log file was 300+ MB].

Restarted wampserver and it was good to go.

I found solution from this thread http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,159184
