I have installed ElasticSerach on Windows 2019 server. When I start the service manually it starts, but seems to be a little slow. When I reboot the system the Event log shows the following error:

The Elasticsearch service failed to start due to the following error:  
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

How do I fix this?

Thank You,

David

Welcome to our community! 😃

What version?  
What do the Elasticsearch logs show?
