djergler on "Startup Error"

Windows 10 was recently installed on my computer.
I had wordpress 4.2.1 installed and running as a local host. There have been no other changes. I am now getting the following message.

This site can’t be reached

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Try:
Reloading the page
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I have checked the above and cannot find a problem.
Any help would be appreciated

It has to be something relative to your server environment. ie.. Wampserver, XAMPP server, etc...

Check with the support forums for whatever server environment you have pre-installed on your (now) Win 10 machine.

Windows 10 by default starts Web Publishing, which uses port 80.

Here's how to tu it off:

- go to: Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > scroll to the bottom and right click on World Wide Web Publishing Service > select Properties
- click Stop
- in Startup type: select Manual
- click Apply and then OK

Cheers!

Hey, Lyle, in didn't find anything like World Wide Web Publishing Service under Services. I did find WebClient. Is that the same thing?

@djergler - not really. I just had another look at my Services and yep, there it is, World Wide Web Publishing Service, 5th from the bottom of the list. This is on desktop system running Windows 10.

@djergler

Open a console and type..

sc query w3svc

What does the "state" line report?

@Clayton, thanks for the advice. I tried that and found nothing. Could have done it wrong, but I searched that within a console

@SniffleValve This is probably something I'm doing wrong, so I totally understand if you want to wash your hands of this. But here's what I'm seeing under Services:

Windows Update
WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-.„
Wired AutoConfig
WLAN AutoConfig
WMI Performance Adapter
Work Folders
Workstation
WWAN AutoConfig
QtXbox Live Auth Manager
Q Xbox Live Game Save
OXbox Live Networking Service..
