Answer 1

The issue is with the permissions, just give write access to the file, you will not get error while you try to exit xampp ... It worked for me ...

Answer 2

Deleting the file and executing xampp-control.exe is also working.

xampp-control.exe will recreate the ini file with all the correct permissions.

Answer 3

xampp-control.ini file somehow become 'read only'. Just changing it to 'full control' solved my problem.

Answer 4

Error caused due to incorrect xampp-control.ini file permission.

In order to fix this issue in a simple way:

• Open xampp folder > delete xampp-control.ini file
• Run the xampp application, it will recreate the xampp-control.ini file with proper file permission.

Now your application should look good.

Answer 5

My problem was solved by just running the app as an administrator.

Right click the xampp control panel, and then run as administrator.

You can send to desktop the xampp control panel (shortcut), then change permissions to always Run As Administrator[my image] , 1

and use the shortcut in everywhere you want to add (maybe in your taskbar)
