So the thing is, that I've been using XAMPP for pretty much since I've been coding php.
I have this issue where after I start MySQL it just shuts down right after with the following error message:
16:06:46 [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app...
16:06:46 [mysql] Status change detected: running
16:06:48 [mysql] Status change detected: stopped
16:06:48 [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
16:06:48 [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
16:06:48 [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

I went on vacation for a week and before that it had no problems. After coming back and starting it, it didn't work.
I reinstalled XAMPP 5 times, even with fresh databases. Yesterday it finally started, but now it won't start again. What should I do?
I tried copying the backup folder, reinstalling (5 times), starting it with admin privileges, checking if the port is used, changing the port. None of these worked for me.
Here is the mysql_error.log file:
