11:21:32 AM [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
11:21:32 AM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
11:21:32 AM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,

11:21:32 AM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
11:21:32 AM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

Maybe Apache is already started by the installer?
Please open your browser and type in http://localhost

This is the issue I have. I did the complete instructions from: "By default, Windows 10 starts Microsoft IIS on port 80, which is the same default port used by Apache in XAMPP. As a result, Apache cannot bind to port 80.  To disable IIS from running on port 80, follow these steps:  
Open the Services panel in Computer Management.
Search for the 'World Wide Web Publishing Service' and select it.
Click the link to 'Stop the service'.
Double-click the service name.
In the 'Startup type' field, change the startup type to 'Disabled'.
Click 'OK' to save your changes.
You should now be able to start Apache in XAMPP on port 80.  
For more information, refer to the 'Troubleshoot Apache Startup Problems'
guide included with XAMPP or this forum post"
Kindly suggest a way to resolve this

Don't install XAMPP into your users directory. Install it directly to C:\ so that you get a folder C:\xampp\
