Hi, I was loading this up for the first time and it keeps shutting down.
Here is the report:

your mysql database needs to be repaired.

To do this please open the XAMPP Shell by clicking the Shell button in your XAMPP Control Panel and execute the following command:

Code: Select all

mysqld --console --skip-grant-tables --skip-external-locking

Leave this black command line window open and click on the Shell button in the Control Panel again to open a second command line window and execute this command:

Code: Select all

mysqlcheck -r --databases mysql --use-frm

After that you Can close both command line Windows and try to start mysql again normally from your XAMPP control panel

Lifesaver! Unfortunately I had already spent an hour or so trying to figure it out before coming across this solution, but saved me spending more time on it

Not sure how the issue occurred given that it was a clean installation of Xampp, however.
