The port that the Admin button references is configurable   In the XAMPP install folder there is a xampp-control ini file   Changing the Apache entry under  ServicePorts  will affect the url the Admin button opens    ServicePorts  Apache 8080

I believe the admin button will open the default configuration always  It simply contains a link to localhost xampp and it doesn t read the server configuration   If you change the default settings  you know what you changed and you can enter the URL directly in the browser
