Can't start the server after installation

Hi all,

We run a Windows 10 Pro x64 pc as a server. MySQL was installed and ran 
fine. No problems. Recently I tried to update it with the 8.0.24 
installer. Everything worked fine, except that when applying the 
configuration, the server won't start. I waited quite a long time, 
untill I got a popup with the message "MySQL server 8.0.24 configuration 
is taking longer than expected".
Then I stopped the proces and uninstalled the server and it's components 
completely.
I installed a new server, 8.0.24. Settings: Developement (default). Same 
problem, installation works fine but the server won't start. After 
waiting a long time I interrupted the process and uninstalled the server 
again and all of it's components. Then I installed the server again, but 
now as MySQL server only.
The same problem ocurred.
What can be wrong? What can I do to make the server run?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
