Hi,everyone.  
When I run elasticsearch.bat under Windows 8.1 system for installation, I will prompt controller.exe to stop running. The network has no similar problems. Ask for your help.Thanks.

Welcome to our community! 😃

Windows 8 is, technically, not a [supported OS](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_os). However can you translate the text in the popup box for us, what does that actually say about `controller.exe`?

Otherwise please consider posting in one of our language specific categories - [Elastic In Your Native Tongue - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/in-your-native-tongue/11)
