Hello all, I've recently installed elasticsearch 5.5 on a Windows Server 2012 with 16GB RAM. It has been working for a 3-4 weeks correctly. Yesterday server was restarted and the elasticsearch service can not start. We see this errors: Service cannot be started.

Bumping. We are setting the same problem. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried increasing the Windows Service timeout setting, but no dice. This appears to be an internal ElasticSearch process startup timeout (Elastic.ProcessHosts.Process.StartupException: Could not start process within (00:02:00)). Is there any way to increase this value, or maybe tune my startup so it takes less time? ElasticSearch seems to be getting close to being ready: [2017-12-12T09:44:20,966][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [NORPEWMMON1] initializing ...
