Did you install it as a service? Did you remove the service and reinstall it again? When you say "the log says", do you mean elasticsearch log or windows event log? I guess the later but prefer to ask. ---

Can you just: - download elasticsearch from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.1.1.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.1.1.zip) - unzip it - `cd elasticsearch-5.1.1` - `bin\elasticsearch` And paste anything you see here? ---

Sorry but didn't you say that you tried with an empty installation as I described [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/error-while-running-elasticsearch-on-windows-10-after-windows-crashed/69765/4?u=dadoonet)? Did you try something else? If not, what would you like to restore as the steps I described are launching an empty node? ---

Ok. Before reinstalling Windows which looks like to me a bit too much, any chance you can try on another machine? ---
