Apache Friends Support Forum

I've read the 'xampp won't start' thread, but can't find a solution.

Apache loads, but then I get
20:59:55 [mysql] Status change detected: stopped
20:59:55 [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
20:59:55 [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,

The error log reads:

It's been working fine without a problem until today, whether it's as a result of a Windows update, I don't know.
Any help much appreciated

I have the same problem. Everything worked fine until today. I noticed there is no line:
"2020-04-21 10:36:45 0 [Note] InnoDB: Buffer pool(s) load completed at 200421 10:36:45" in log from today's starting.
My error log is simillar to Sweens, Apache start but MySQL don't want to.

Same issue here. Any answers ..please???
