After installing Magento 2 in Windows under Xampp, if your admin and front end link’s are not workin

 

  1. Remove everything, except .htaccess file from pub/static folder
  2. Open up app/etc/di.xml find the path “Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink” and replace to “Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy”

Note: Remove entire files and folder under pub/static except .htaccess file.

Another better route is to run XAMPP as an administrator.  Windows has symlink functionality, you just need to be an administrator to run it.
