exit Xampp server
go to your C:\xampp\mysql\data directory
delete the ibdata1 file
restart xampp server
I also had to delete ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 to get it to workInstead, first try using the MySQL backup folder which is included with XAMPP. So do next steps:
Rename folder mysql/data to mysql/data_old
Make a copy of mysql/backup folder and name it as mysql/data
Copy all your database folders from mysql/data_old into mysql/data (except mysql, performance_schema, and phpmyadmin folders)
Copy mysql/data_old/ibdata1 file into mysql/data folder
Start MySQL from XAMPP control panel
And, voilà!Solucion a mysql shutdown
