Cannot start Xampp Apache service

I need Apache and MySQL services for my project but I cannot start the apache service.

Here is the log:

First when I installed Xampp I wasn't able to run Apache service. Then I unchecked "Use port 80 and 443" in Skype and signed out of Skype and changed ports in the confg files from 80 to 8080 and 443 to 4433. After doing this the Apache server worked smoothly. But after restarting my laptop, Xampp showed that Apache service has started but it didn't start actually. And then I upgraded to Windows 10 and now this is happening.

PS It's my first question

Try Reinstalling XAMPP and changing ports for apache from 80 to 8080 and from 443 to 4443.

For port 80 edit httpd.conf file

For port 443 edit http-ssl.conf file
