Go to your xampp installation directory. Right click on "xampp-control" then choose "Run as administrator" If prompted, choose Yes

You do not have to disable UAC. You are simply getting this message because the application was started with normal user rights, while the application needs administrator rights to be able to activate Apache and MySQL services.
