    Change the port 80 to 9000 or 81 or whatever you want in file httpd. conf on the line Listen 80. Change the port on httpd-ssl. conf and change Listen 443 to Listen 441.

    Not sure what is the question here exactly, but let’s assume you are asking why this popup appears:

    When you click "Start", then XAMPP will try to start Apache, a webserver. As can bee seen from the prompt, the command is basically net start Apache2.4 which will try to start a service. However, starting a service needs administrative privileges on Windows (at least for default configurations). That is why there is such a popup for User Account Control (UAC). Furthermore, the server needs to bind to one or more ports, e.g. port 80, 443 or similar ports. Binding to a port also needs administrative privileges on Windows (at least for default configuration). That is another reaseon why there would be such an elevation request from UAC.

    TL;DR: Starting a Windows service needs admin powers, therefore UAC pops up.
