Getting 404 by using Laravel routes - rewrite not working - laravel

Question

I'm using Laravel-5 framework and created the following route in the routes/web.php:
Route::get('/test', function () {
return view('test');
});
After navigating to myapp.dev/test I get an Error 404:
Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
Navigating to myapp.dev/index.php/test works fine. So, looks like rewrite_mod is not working.
I'm using XAMP/Apache and rewrite_module is enabled in httpd.conf:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
My larvavel's public folder contains a .htaccess file with following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
#DirectoryIndex index.php
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The httpd-vhost configuration looks like the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin my#mail.com
DocumentRoot "s:/_dev/myapp/public"
ServerName myapp.dev
<Directory "s:/_dev/myapp/public">
Allow from all
Require all granted
#Options Indexes
</Directory>
ErrorLog "logs/myapp.dev-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/myapp.dev-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
Any ideas what I missed?
Thanks

I can not see any issues with our code however it could be a browser issue.
Have a look at this article which goes through the changes to browsers that cause issues with .dev domains.
