I just installed latest Xampp but it auto starts up stuff like apache and Mysql.
Is there a way to stop the auto load?

Open the XAMPP Control Panel and uncheck all Svc items then click on Settings and uncheck all boxes you can find. Click OK. Click Exit

Check using the Windows Task Manager that apache.exe and mysqld.exe or mysqld-nt.exe are not running. If they are then kill them in the Task Manager.

Reboot then check that all services are not running.
Now you can start them using the XAMPP Control panel or manually using the command line and the *.bat files found in the xampp directory.
Good Luck .

It says that it will uninstall it.
is that suspose to happen?

Yes that's fine. What it is saying is it will uninstall the service not XAMPP. You install or uninstall a service. Just terminology .

Thank You for the information... Just what I was looking for too...
