MAMP on Windows 10 - Apache Server starts and then stops

Question

I'm using Windows 10. When I start servers on MAMP, the circle next to Apache Server turns green and then turns white again. MySQL starts as expected. I know Apache Server is starting because I see httpd.exe show up in Resource Monitor on port 8888, but then it grays out and disappears. So, something appears to be stopping Apache Server after it starts. The computer is new and I had McAfee LiveSafe running, but I uninstalled that then rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I also have Windows Defender, but I allow Apache HTTP Server through the Firewall.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

This appears to be a bug in the 4.1.1 version of MAMP for Windows. If you have this same problem, I recommend installing version 4.1 instead. There is no link on their website to that version, but you can get it at https://downloads.mamp.info/MAMP-PRO-WINDOWS/releases/4.1/MAMP_MAMP_PRO_4.1.exe.
