Xampp control panel is not showing

Question

My Xampp control panel is not showing in the desktop (Windows 10), but can only up the servers through the shortcut (minimized option in the task bar).

As follows:

I have close the application without stopping the servers, will that be the case of this matter?

Answer 1

What worked for me was checking for windows updates and installing them

Answer 2

Easiest solution I found was:

1. Click on task view.
2. Click on minimized window of the control panel.
3. Just resize like any other window.

Deleting the log and config file doesn't work for me. So this could be an alternative.

Answer 3

There is also one temporary solution.

Open XAMPP, In the windows task bar. Hover your mouse over the XAMPP icon, a small popup will be shown. Right click on popup and choose size. click and pull bottom to resize window xampp controll.

This fix is temporary and you may have to do repeat the steps often.

Answer 4

This doesn't involve modifying, uninstalling, editing, or anything overtly complicated, just hovering:

1. Start XAMPP.
2. Hover mouse over XAMPP Window Tab until Window preview pane pops up over the tab.
3. Right Click over preview pane and click maximize.
4. Drag down from the sides to resize. Clicking the minimize tab will cause the window to disappear, and you will have to repeat the first three steps. Drag down from the top to pop the window out of maximized size.
