First make sure you have Redis enabled in Xampp. Follow these instructions. A quicker way is to run redis-cli ping you should receive a PONG.
If successful then you may be missing the configurations needed for magento to communicate to the redis server.
It is recommended in the Magento 2 docs to run the magento CLI commands as it has further checks in place.
An example command:
bin/magento setup:config:set --cache-backend=redis --cache-backend-redis-server=127.0.0.1 --cache-backend-redis-db=0
Typical Redis settings are: IP: 127.0.0.1 PORT: 6379
Remember if you are using redis for other caching or session storage, I would recommend using another Number for your redis DBs to separate them.
If you want to check that redis keys are being populated (after a page refresh or action) then run this sequence of commands:
- redis-cli (enters you into redis)
- SELECT 0 (Number is your database number chosen)
- KEYS * (Will output values in Redis DB)
