On Windows, I have seen people run Apache from all kinds of weird and wonderful places.

You need to track down where your Apache instance is running from, normally its running as a service on windows. If you open the properties on the service and look at the Path to executable, it should be something similar to the below.

"C:\Program Files\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice

Or it could be 

"D:\Some Application\Version\WEB\tool\SOFTS\HTTPD\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice

Unless there is an -f flag, setting the location of the conf. There will be a "conf" folder at the same level as the "bin" folder regardless of the path. This location is set at compile time so unless you have bespoke version off Apache this should be the location.

If you are struggling to find the service or a launcher that is running Apache. You can use WMI with a WQL query to look for processes which are called httpd.exe and get its executable path. 

wmic process WHERE name="httpd.exe" GET ExecutablePath

In Xampp Control panel, in apache row, click on "config" button and then you see the term Apache(httpd.conf).
