Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi all,

This is my first day with XAMPP. The installation was perfect and it works without problem. What I don't like is that XAMPP (including Apache, MySQL, PHP and everything) always starts working as soon as I logon to my account. No orange icon appears on the lower right corner, but Windows Task Manager shows these services are up. How can I make it start ONLY when I want to work with XAMPP?

Thanks.

You elected to start services when installing XAMPP.

Run xampp\apache\apache_uninstallservice.bat file

Run xampp\mysql\mysql_uninstallservice.bat file.

That should do the trick but check again by rebooting your PC after running the bat files.
