Laragon - Apache doesn't start - Now with solution.

[NorseMan]

Woke up this morning and met this problem (as described on screen dump below). Everything was working last night before going to bed, but win11 had an update while I was sleeping and restarted.
So far i have found out there could be a conflict because of User Account Control (UAC) and a problem due to permissions: Apache doesn't have permission to start or run. Does anyone know how to fix this? Reinstall doesn't fix it because of the UAC problem.

No matter what I did, Apache would not boot. I finally found the solution, and the error was not corrected if I did a single reinstall. The solution was, and I say, YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you are not an experienced user, then stay away as it involves deleting registry keys.

1- Quit Laragon completely and uninstall Laragon.
2- Delete all files and folders that have to do with Laragon and Apache.
Restart Windows.
3- Quit all programs running in the background, start up "REGEDIT "and scan the entire registry for Laragon first and second Apache. Remove all instances. Restart Windows. Perform step 3 again, including restarting Windows.
4- Reinstall Laragon, restart and set everything up again.

When I had done this twice it loosened up so I could start Laragon without any problems. Good look with my problem solver tut

REMEMBER !!! You do this at your own risk!
