One of many reasons is xampp cannot start MySQL service by itself. Everything you need to do is run mySQL service manually.
First, make sure that 'mysqld.exe' is not running, if have, end it. (go to Task Manager > Progresses Tab > right click 'mysqld.exe' > end task)
Open your services.msc by Run (press 'Window + R') > services.msc or 0n your XAMPP ControlPanel, click 'Services' button. Find 'MySQL' service, right click and run it.
