Localhost issue on 8.5 and above

There appears to be a conflict within Woocommerce versions 8.5 and above when using on windows localhost with xampp. The issue comes into play when the opcache is enabled in the php ini settings. The site crashes until woocommerce is disabled through the file system or the opcache is disabled and server restarted.

Unfortunately, the issue has been present for sometime and it makes localhost development difficult. Without opcache I lose a lot of time in loading WordPress locally when deveoping and testing code.

Could I kindly ask this be looked into? For now I will use version 8.41 and test final output on a linode production server.

Thanking you kindly,
Mark.
