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,

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
