1. Please

   1. locate the file [XAMPP Installation Directory]phpphp.ini (e.g. C:xamppphpphp.ini)
   2. open php.ini in Notepad or any Text editor
   3. locate the line containing max_execution_time and
   4. increase the value from 30 to some larger number (e.g. set: max_execution_time = 90)
   5. then restart Apache web server from the XAMPP control panel

   If there will still be the same error after that, try to increase the value for the max_execution_time further more.

2. @Raphael your solution does work. I encountered the same problem and solved it by increasing the maximum execution time to 180. There is an easier way to do it though:

   1. Open the Xampp control panel

   2. Click on ‘config’ behind ‘Apache’

   3. Select ‘PHP (php.ini)’ from the dropdown -> A file should now open in your text editor

   4. Press ctrl+f and search for ‘max_execution_time’, you should fine a
      line which only says

      max_execution_time=30

   5. Change 30 to a bigger number (180 worked for me), like this:

      max_execution_time=180

   6. Save the file

   7. ‘Stop’ Apache server

   8. Close Xampp

   9. Restart Xampp

   10. ‘Start’ Apache server

   11. Update WordPress from the Admin dashboard

   12. Enjoy 😉

3. I solved this issue to update .htaccess file inside your workspace (like C:xampphtdocsNayan.htaccess in my case).

   Just update or add this php_value max_execution_time 300 line before # END WordPress. Then save the file and try to install again.

   If the error occurs again, you can maximize the value from 300 to 600.

4. If you are simply testing a local dev version of WordPress as I was an hitting timeouts when WordPress tries to update itself you can always disable updates for your local version like so: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-automatic-updates-in-wordpress/

   Don’t do this for a production site!

5. 1. Find file:

      [XAMPP Installation Directory]phpphp.ini
      

   2. open php.ini.
   3. Find max_execution_time and increase the value of it as you required
   4. Restart XAMPP control panel

6. If you want modify the limit for a single script, you may try to change that limit at runtime:

   ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
