Look at the properties of your Zabbix agent service. Does it look similar to this when you look at the "Path to executable"?

"C:\apps\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.exe" -c "C:\apps\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf"

If it does, then check both of those paths for each of those files.
(Of course, your paths will be different than mine)

Hello!

I'm new here, but I get this problem too!

Check your .conf file, probably something is wrong or missing, because of it the service wont start.
