    You need to edit your wp-config.php file (it will be in the web root of your local web server – if you’re on Windows this may be XAMPP.)

    Add define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true); to the end of wp-config.php

    I found a guide to running WordPress on your local machine (Windows): https://themeisle.com/blog/install-xampp-and-wordpress-locally/

    This looks like you have not followed the proper steps to install WordPress on the localhost.

    Yes, you can go to the root of your local webserver and you can find the wp-config.php file. Here you can add define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); Then open the website again.

    As it is a fresh WordPress installation there should not be any issues. So I would recommend you to start it from scratch.

    1. Install XAMPP server to run Apache and MySQL
    2. Create a DB
    3. Download WordPress and configure the DB
    4. Install WordPress.

    Here is a good step by step procedure on how to install WordPress on localhost with images.
