How to make Open Server and Koala compiler friends?

Question

Sass

When changing hardware, I decided to switch to Open Server. Installed, launched, first works.

Koala compiler didn't work: invalid byte sequence in utf-8 error.
The collective mind suggested a solution through the Windows settings:
"Control Panel" => "Regional Standards" => "Advanced" => "Change system language" => ticked the "use utf-8 unicode"

But the problem is that now Open Server does not start !When you check the box "use utf-8 unicode" - Open Server does not work. And if you uncheck "use utf-8 unicode" - then Open Server works, but Koala does not work.

With a non-starting server, this is what is in the logs:

In the "MySQL debugging" tab the following:

In the Apache debug tab, the following:

The server is down.

Surely someone has been in this situation. Please suggest how you solved the problem.
