I tried to update the laragon to latest version, but my mysql can't start. this is the error:

I am not using skype on my machine.

@Jonathan : The error occured because you had used 5.7.13 before. You can switch back to MySQL 5.7.13 by going to Menu > MySQL > Version

[Jonathan]

ok, I did.

but the laragon show me the alert with:

"service mysql can not start - the system can not find the path specified"

I need to write a variable path?

[leokhoa]

You don't need to write a path variable. Have you got any images of steps you had done?

[Jonathan]

yes, I can.

look:

1 - The laragon is open:

2 - The services begin to initialized:

3 - The error appears:

thanks, I've tried by another way. before start all services, I just selected the latest version of mariadb, so, have no errors, normalized now.

thanks by your help!!!

I had the same issue. Just add this line innodb_flush_method=normal to [mysqld] section of my.ini file and restart services.
