There appears to be some work effort towards this in [https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers](https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers), but Kibana is not available yet.

Meanwhile, you may look at this thread for more options that might work. [Kibana set up windows service (6.2.1)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-set-up-windows-service-6-2-1/120183)
