I had everything working yesterday, but for some reason I can't get it to work now. I tried deleting and reinstalling the xampp file. It says I'm not running admin rights, but I'm the only user and admin. I've tried a few suggestions already posted on here, but I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I restarted my computer and noticed that there was an update available. Once I did the update and restarted, completely deleted xampp and reinstalled, MySQL is functioning correctly again. Perhaps because there was an update available, it wasn't letting it run?
TL;DR: Check for updates, restart computer, reinstall xampp. MySQL should work.
