Description: Is your XAMPP MySQL module crashing with the error "MySQL shutdown unexpectedly"? This is one of the most common XAMPP errors, usually caused by a Port 3306 conflict with another program running on your computer. In this video, I will show you the fastest way to check for and stop the conflicting service using the Windows Services Manager. ⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This solution specifically targets and fixes the problem caused by a duplicate MySQL service running in the background. It may not work if your error is due to a corrupt data folder, missing configuration files, or other issues. If you have recently installed other software like MySQL Workbench or another SQL server, this fix is highly likely to work for you. ✅ The Fix Demonstrated in this Video: Open the Run box and type services.msc. [00:47] Locate and stop the existing MySQL service (e.g., MySQL80 or just MySQL). [01:08] Restart XAMPP to see the MySQL service successfully running.
