@odan : For XAMPP Version 7.3.4 you need to download the (Zend) Thread Safe (TS/ZTS) version: https://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.7.2-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll

Why they call it ZTS in one place, and TS in another 🤷‍♂️

btw, people can also use the built-in Xdebug by using zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll" instead of the line above.

This actually works for me, while the version you point to doesn't.

I didn't need to unblock the DLL, even with Windows Defender on High+ cloud detection level ('Block At First Sight').

This process of install xdebug on windows based stack can be simpler if you use the xdebug installation wizard. To use the wizard tool create a PHP file and add this in the file

Now run this file in the browser and copy the details in the box and paste it in the wizard tool. Now, click Analyze my phpinfo() output button

Now you will some instructions, follow it and you are good to go.

Attention:

This version http://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.7.2-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll works only on PHP 7.3.x and 64bit XAMPP

The version for PHP 7.3.0 and 32bit XAMPP is: http://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.8.0-7.3-vc15.dll (current release is 2.8.0)
