I have been using this version of Xampp for over 1 year without any problems, now I get Apache unexpected shutdown ,
SQL is OK. I have made no changes other than the automatic W10 updates.
I am using Xampp 3.2.4, PHP 7.4, W10 Home, V 21H2, OS 19044.1466.
I checked the ports with Netstat and found HP6CC21710560D:8080 ESTABLISHED,
the PID = HPNetworkCommunicatorCom.exe
I turned off this HP program then restarted xampp and now port 8080 is not showing up at all in Netstat.
There are no entries for today in my Apache error log,
In my Apache access log I only have
[12/Jan/2022:13:39:25 +0100] "GET /dashboard/ HTTP/1.1" 200 7576 "-" "AVG Antivirus"
12/Jan/2022:13:39:31 +0100] "GET /HNAP1/ HTTP/1.1" 404 1057 "-" "AVG Antivirus"
I checked my Windows event viewer but no relevant errors logged.
Any help appreciated
