It looks like there are many options. The answer depends on your Windows installation. Here is my experience when having the same problem in a Windows 10 fresh install and fix the issue with the following step:

1. Install Visual C++ Redistributable
2. Open XAMPP and select configure in the Apache service
3. Change the port 80 to 9000 or 81 or whatever you want in file httpd.conf on the line Listen 80
4. Change the port on httpd-ssl.conf and change Listen 443 to Listen 441
5. Restart XAMPP and start the Apache service. It works for me.

Note: I'm using XAMPP version 5.6.15 and XAMPP Control Panel version 3.2.2.
