There is already a process running on port 3306.
Maybe you did have another Mysql or Mariadb installation running, or the control panel was unable to see that it is the xampp Mariadb already running.

Because you did not start the control panel with enhanced administration rights the control panel cannot get any process information about that other process.

Hi Altrea

thanks for the response! I'm not sure what to do. FYI I'm not too tech-savvy. Can you give me user-friendly instructions on what I should do?

[Altrea]

Let's start to see what the other process is.
To do that you just need to start the xampp control panel by right click => run as administrator.
Than you should additional information in the xampp log window like the full path to the process.
