Likewise, the returned cryptic, unhelpful, poorly written, one line (often one just one word) messages of batch files and the XAMPP Control Panel could be vastly improved, which may help eliminate some needless forum support request.

The error.log file is to be found in the \xampp\apache\logs\ folder and can be read by dragging the file into your text editor or associating the .log file extension with your text editor so all it takes then would be a double click on the file to open it.
Thanks for the helpful reply, don't know why but in a support forum I prefer those over sarcastic, useless posts.
In any case, the error logs say:
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
When I port check 443 is taken up by SYSTEM. After netstatting I noticed it's used by one of my running aps, so I killed that one. If it's something that can't/shouldn't be killed, you can just disable apache HTTPS services, that's the only thing that needs 443.
So it runs now. Just posting this here so that if anyone else has the same problem, they can fix it. And to show how a single helpful post can actually fix the problem (And I obviously don't mean yours, Wiedmann).
Have a great day!
