Error start apache service

Error:

The Apache service named  reported the following error:
>>> AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down     .

Error (OS 10013) An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. :AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(OS 10013) An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. :AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs

If Apache will not start (due to the above binding/socket/port issue), then one of these two Services is running on Windows 10.

    Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc)
    IIS / World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC)

These services are not needed for Windows functionality and can be safely disabled.

Run services.msc, select the service, click to stop it, and then change its Startup Type from Automatic to Disabled.

If you are still not able to start Apache, check the bigger list of services that prevent Apache from starting.
