Solution for Apache service startup failure after Win8 system upgrade

Users who use Win8 systems know that they often receive patch upgrades for system upgrades. Under normal circumstances, Win8 system users will upgrade, but some users have encountered some inexplicable problems after upgrading, including Apache service. The startup failed, or the Apache service disappeared. What is going on?

Apache is the world's number one web server software. It runs on almost all widely used computer platforms and is the most popular web server-side software because of its widespread use across platforms and security. When developing a PHP or Java server program, programmers will choose to use the Apache server as a background server. The reason why the service disappeared after the win8 upgrade to 8.1 is because the registry has not been updated after the upgrade.
