creating Subdomain in Xampp doesn't work

I made a subdomain on Localhost over Xampp with following code in httpd-vhosts.conf (guide from different sources)

NameVirtualHost *:80 (uncommented by removing #)

<VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs
     ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/sub
     ServerName sub.localhost.com
</VirtualHost>

and following code into hosts of Windows/System32/drivers/etc/

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 sub.localhost

now the problem is subdomains are not working. One more thing I just noticed that when I start apache service in Xampp Control Panel, it has set the port as 80,443 for Apache which is good but as soon as I hit localhost in browser it changes port to different ports like 52352 etc. I also tried to setting up code in hosts file as

127.0.0.1:80 localhost
127.0.0.1:80 sub.localhost

but not working. I tried many other things but all in vein. While a month before I created successfully in the same Xampp Installation. off course i have created sub directory in htdocs.

Make sure you have this line uncommented in httpd.conf

#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Remove this line in httpd-vhosts.conf (or comment it out):

NameVirtualHost *:80

Make sure you have a blank line at the end of both httpd-vhosts.conf and hosts, and make sure you're using tabs to separate IPs with their associated domains in the hosts file.

Make sure another application is not using ports 80, 443 (Skype for example).

Ultimately, restart your Apache server.

If you want to create sub directory, *emphasized text*127.0.0.1:80 localhost*emphasized text* the settings back to original and change only *emphasized text*DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/sub*emphasized text*
