Could not get that to work in the Xampp control panel. Keeps coming back with errors. After much searching have come up with how to start apache server as a service. 1. Run CMD as administrator 2. cd to c:\xampp\apache\bin 3. at the command prompt, type in httpd.exe -k install 4. exit out of CMD 5. restart the PC
Here is the error I get. I am running the apache_installservice.bat as administrator. This is all on a windows10 pc.

This will not work, because if you run this bat file as Administrator by rightclick menu, the httpd.exe is expected in a different path (C:\Windows\System32).
Instead run your XAMPP control panel as Administrator (rightclick -> run as Administrator) and click in the red cross of the module you want to install as service.
Alternatively you can open a Windows cmd as Administrator, navigate to the path the apache_installservice.bat is saved and execute it.
