My name is Rachelle. I'm learning front-end development (HTML, CSS & Javascript) from Treehouse. I'm also enrolled in UX design courses at Interaction Design Foundation, as well as social media classes on Hootsuite. My main goal is to become a UX designer, the front-end and social media courses are to round out my skillset.

    Please bear with me, I'm not 100% tech savvy - yet. When I try to run XAMPP (in order to experiment with local WordPress), everything runs except Apache. All the current data on the issue points me to stop the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" from "Services" in Windows 10.

    However, I have found that the World Wide Web Publishing Service is missing from services, I have looked in both the Standard and Extended list, and it simply isn't there, neither is the variant "W3SVC."

    I have also tried an entire search of my pc for both phrases and I came up empty. Please assist, I'm stuck and I have no idea where to go from here.
