hi i stopped apache and mysql and then tried to turn my computer off
an error was thrown up before the computer shut down
i didnt quite get the error message

i decided to cancel the shut down to see if i could turn off xampp properly
and when i look in the console i see this:

XAMPP Version: 8.0.7
10:58:34 PM [main] Control Panel Version: 3.3.0 [ Compiled: Apr 6th 2021 ]
10:58:34 PM [main] You are not running with administrator rights! This will work for
10:58:34 PM [main] most application stuff but whenever you do something with services
10:58:34 PM [main] there will be a security dialogue or things will break! So think
10:58:34 PM [main] about running this application with administrator rights!
10:58:34 PM [main] XAMPP Installation Directory: "c:\xampp\"
10:58:34 PM [main] Checking for prerequisites
10:58:34 PM [main] All prerequisites found
10:58:34 PM [main] Initializing Modules
10:58:34 PM [main] Starting Check-Timer
10:58:34 PM [main] Control Panel Ready

where can i check if i am running xampp with administrator rights and how can i change them

thanks for help

you can start the xampp control panel manually with enhanced administration rights by right click -> run as administrator
