Solved
If anyone facing the same issue here my fix. It’s not unique and was published here a few times. However, my version was to backup and zip all my sites in another location in my PC. Delete them completely from Local. Then import them one by one using custom. MySQL is 5.7, server Apache and PHP 7.3. Everything is fine now :smiley: :heart_eyes:
Have no clue how this happened, but I took another backups using a WordPress plugin when all my sites were imported. I’m taking no chances! Thanks to Jimmy and Nick from Local Support! They were great!!
