Actually - there IS an explanation. And it has been told many, many, many times. In this forum.
And the fix has been told also many, many, many times. Also in this forum.

That's not quite right. Actually, you are too lazy to find or to read the fixes given here.
Before you fail again and again in finding the fix: Simply run MySQL(MariaDB) as "service" (a simple little cross in the correspondig option from the Xampp Controldialog in front of MySQL). The problem is, that if you do not run MySQL as a service, the server is simply shotdown when you end MySQL. If you run it as a Windows service, the Windows Manager starts and ends MySQL properly.
That has been explained a million of times or so. I have no logical explanation, why you cannot find it.
