service "MySQL" (MySQL) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

first of all, i mistakenly typed "sc delete mysql" in the command prompt because my Xampp mysql is not responding. Later, i uninstall Xampp and reinstall it again and MySQL started working. so i uninstall Mariadb and reinstall it again. While installing Mariadb, it stopped and displayed a message saying "service "MySQL" (MySQL) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." i would like you to help me solve this problem. Thank you.

You may not be full administrator and services often run under their own contexts anyway. One route is to work on your user account and trace the permission, another is to look at the service accounts themselves. This page is not a great match but it's the first one I saw that shows the right GUI for some Windows versions (third window with the "Log On" tab): http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-event-log-service-error-1079/ Assuming you can run services.msc (or add the module in mmc): Are the logon accounts for MariaDB and MySQL services correct? If they were created by the apps, sometimes you have to delete the service users and reinstall the programs, especially if the passwords (which you never get to see) are out of sync. Some people don't feel like doing this and switch them to LocalSystem. This is usually wrong (databases can shell) but it's quick.

Sorry @Paul - I had tunnel vision and didn't mean to swipe the floor. One significant disadvantage I have here is that I'm not running Windows (and I haven't used recent versions). I totally don't mind if you're carrying this.
