I tried to update PHP7.2 to PHP7.4 for my XAMPP Apache on Windows 10. Now Apache is not starting.
The log error is:
[Fri Jul 23 10:47:04.645093 2021] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 15604:tid 764] AH00422: Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.
[Fri Jul 23 10:47:07.981978 2021] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 5588:tid 704] AH00364: Child: All worker threads have exited.

The error message from apache is:
10:47:39 AM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
10:47:39 AM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
10:47:39 AM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
