I have also encountered this problem, but when running Apache as a normal installed web server (as a service).
I have tried: net stop apache2.2 It tried stopping the service for some time, but without success. I have also tried httpd -k stop But it doesn't want to shut it down. I have also tried stopping the process from Windows processes list, but it shown that it is in the process of stopping... So I needed to reboot.
