I'm running java : jre1.8.0\_152  
I got a cluster of 3 nodes.  
I tried to increase the service timeout in windows by modifing a registry key, it didn't change the timeout of 2 minutes.

The service still crash and in Event viewer I can see the stack that I posted first saying that

Elastic.ProcessHosts.Process.StartupException: Could not start process within (00:02:00)

Any idea ? When googling this issue I find only two posts:

- one that say it's a space issue  
[Unable to start Elastic Search after space issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-start-elastic-search-after-space-issue/102273/6)  
but I got ~700gb of free space

and another one without answer [Can not start Elasticsearch 5.5 service](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-not-start-elasticsearch-5-5-service/107921/2)

Help would be reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly appreciated
