Answer 1

As reported here and here the latest version of XAMPP (the PHP version packed with it) is not compatible with latest Magento versions.

Magento 2 dosen't support the version of php that the latest xampp has packed with it. The problem should be fixed if you download an older version of xampp that has a php version packed compatible with magento 2.

So, as already suggested, the solution is that either you downgrade your PHP version or the complete XAMPP package.
