Wampserver crashes

I recently upgraded to WAMP 3.3.0 (from 3.2.9) in order to get PHP 8 (it said i had to update although unfortunate as everything was working great and the update had me loose all my dbs). Now that i have updated, the tray crashes at least once/day. By this i mean the icon no longer opens anything with click or right click. I need to go to task manager and kill and then rerun it.

I found an update to AeTray, 3.2.5 but this does not fix the issue.

Thank you for not interfering in a thread that is totally irrelevant to your problem.

> the update had me loose all my dbs
NO ! Wampserver updates do not affect existing databases in any way.
Neither the MySQL/MariaDB versions, nor the databases are modified by the Wampserver updates.

Hi,

As part of whatever you did in the upgrade, did you get a new version of MySQL installed? Then did you activate that new version of MySQL?

If the answer to these 2 questions is YES, then switch back the the version of MySQL that you were previously using and see if your databases magically re-appear!
