[FIXED] How to fix startup error in MySQL in XAMPP?

Issue

When I run XAMPP and MySQL it gives "MySQL shutdown unexpectedly", I looked at other questions but they have different error logs, here is my error log. I have tried changing my back up folder and changing my port to 3307, but nothing seems to do anything. Thank you

Solution

MySQL was running in the background, go into task manager and find the running process and click end task then try again. MySQL was not starting due to it being run in the background.
