Xammp functions are restricted due to UAC win10. How to fix it?
Moving the slider down doesn't completely disable UAC since Windows 8. This is changed compared to Windows 7, because the new Store apps require an active UAC. With UAC off, they no longer run.
Do what is suggested and install xampp to C:\xampp and not into program files.
In order to disable UAC and install XAMPP, go to Registry Editor and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Right click EnableLUA and modify the Value data to 0.
Then restart your computer and you're ready to install XAMPP
