>XAMPP Installation Directory: "c:\users\downloads\previous download\app downloads\xampp\xampp\"

That is SUPERWRONG and you are doing EVERYTHING wrong you can do wrong (and even more).

1) Do NOT install Xampp into your User Folder, as Apache runs with a different UserID than your own.
2) Do NOT install Xampp into a folder which contains spaces in the folder name.

As you are doing EVERYTHING wrong man can do wrong - dont be surprised; your Xampp does not work.

Install Xampp into C:/xampp and everything is fine. Why didnt you follow that very basic advice?
