The past week i have been troubling to get Elastic-search working on my windows 10 laptop again. 2 weeks ago Elastic worked just fine. I don't know what the cause is because i won't get any logs or data when opening Elastic. I don't know for sure but it could be that it stopped working after a windows 10 update. When opening the elasticsearch.bat file the command prompt opens for a split second and closes again.  
What i tried to get Elastic working:  
Downloaded and used the newest version of Elastic  
Changed parameters in the yml file  
Tried to add a filewall rule for Elastic search  
Downloaded and installed the newest versions of java and the JDK again  
Windows 10 reset(Cleaned whole drive and all programs)

Nothing has worked so far and i would be really glad if someone could help me!
