Why does my XAMPP control panel crash every time I stop apache?

I am trying to enable some extensions in my php. If I want to initiate the changes I have to reset the apache server in XAMPP. But I just keep getting a window that says xampp-control.exe has stopped working and gives me options:

No matter which option I choose it will then give me this Application Error:

Exception EAccess in modele 'xampp-control.exe' at 001ABEFE. Access Violation at address 005ABEFE in module 'xampp-control.exe'. Read of address 00000042.
I have read that I should just install a WAMPP server. Is there a way I can successfully reset the Apache Server?

Possible workarounds are listed on XAMPP's forum here

There are some possible workarounds:

  • Enable back the write privileges and to be aware of this potential issue
  • Modify the ini file with an editor the properties you need or
  • To run the XAMP Control panel as administrator

Running it as administrator worked for me.
