Error 1053: "The service did not respond in a timely fashion" when attempting to start winlogbeat service

Hello all,

When attempting to start the winlogbeat service in Windows I receive the following:

Error 1053: "The service did not respond in a timely fashion" when attempting to start, stop or pause a service."

I've successfully created the service using the Powershell script included in the .zip file but receive this error each time. I'm using the default yaml config file at the moment, I just want to ensure I can initiate the service properly before tailoring the config to talk to our ELK stack.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please test your config file.

PS C:\Program Files\Winlogbeat > .\winlogbeat.exe -e -configtest
