Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly

[dinunez9313]

Dear forum, I have a problem with my Apache server on XAMPP version 3.3.0
I know this issue is very common, but the solution seems to be more unique for each client user or different for each XAMPP version

By now I have already tried changing the port numbers in both config files from 80 to 800 and 8080; and 443 to 4433 and 1443 to no avail.

Please help!

Operating system: Windows 11 x64-bit
XAMPP Version: 3.3.0
