title: WampServer Apache httpd.exe application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) after Windows 10 Creators Update (1703))
body: <p>The Windows 10 Creators update seems to have hosed Apache's httpd service, which now errors when I first start the WampServer.</p>
  
  <p>The official form <a href="http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,146443" rel="noreferrer">confirms</a> this suspicion.</p>
  
  <p>WampServer version 3.0.6.</p>
  
  <p>However, none of the suggested solutions on the forum worked, as of the time of this post. Thus, I've opened this question so that us community members can work to find a solution here.</p>
  
  <p>Note that downgrading Windows is not a viable solution here.</p>
