XAMPP Apache service not starting?

Question

I have tried everything:

Reinstalling the app 5 times
Changing the ports from 80 to 8080 and 443 to 4343
Using the Apache start BAT file
Looking online for further solutions.
Changing UAC settings (though note that I don't know if I necessarily disabled it. The setting is called "Never notify me")
I uninstalled Skype (I mean not like I use it anyway)

The official error in the control panel:

3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    If you need more help, copy and post this
3:27:24 PM  [Apache]    entire log window on the forums

Error in the logs:

[Fri Jul 24 15:27:23.908527 2020] [ssl:warn] [pid 1800:tid 664] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

[Fri Jul 24 15:27:23.958604 2020] [:emerg] [pid 1800:tid 664] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting

Any solutions?

To fix this one `PHP Warning: 'vcruntime140.dll' 14.0 is not compatible with this PHP` Install ALL the Visual C/C++ Runtimes from the Microsoft site, but I did think the one you need would have been installed with XAMPP, but I am not a XAMPP user — RiggsFolly, Jul 24 '20 at 11:46
Here are the Visual CC programs that I have: 2015-2019(x86 and x64), 4 installations of the 2013 redist (2 x86 and 2 x64), 2012 (x86 and x64), 2010 (x86 and x64), 4 installations of the 2008 redist (3 x86 and 1 x64), and the last is a 2005 redist — Aditya Borkar, Jul 24 '20 at 11:48
In that case I dont know where I can check that, any tips? I'm new to this stuff and I need to complete it as a course for IB Comp Sci — Aditya Borkar, Jul 24 '20 at 14:54
Run the XAMPP Control panel and I would guess it will say on there — RiggsFolly, Jul 24 '20 at 14:56
I just installed it, my computer is currently at home I'll check it later — Aditya Borkar, Jul 24 '20 at 14:57
The version of 2015-2019 that you should check for is 14.16.28720 — RiggsFolly, Jul 24 '20 at 14:57

Taking a look on log, looks like that the server name is different that the name on the SSL certificate.

Requesting a new certificate with the correct server name. – Allan Gustavo de Souza Jul 24 '20 at 16:48
Now how do I do THAT? I'm really sorry I'm not really experienced in this stuff – Aditya Borkar Jul 24 '20 at 16:49

The problem usually can be caused by point (5) Changing UAC settings. By installing vcruntime140.dll do not solve the problem.
This can be caused by installing other version of php or the different of php version (uninstal the php and try to instal the XAMPP again).
