**Error Summary** : I'm encountering a fatal error when running Elasticsearch 8.16.1 on Windows Server 2016. The process crashes with an access violation. Below are the details:

**System Configuration** :

-OS: Windows Server 2016 (64-bit), Build 14393.  
-JVM: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (17.0.12+8).  
-Memory: 32GB physical memory, 16GB heap size (`-Xms16383m`, `-Xmx16383m`).  
Elasticsearch Version\*\*: 8.16.1.

**Error Details** :

EXCEPTION\_ACCESS\_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000002c55fc5aaa1  
Problematic frame: J 5866 c2 java.lang.String.compareTo(Ljava/lang/Object;)I java.base@17.0.12

```auto

Steps Taken:

1-Verified JAVA_HOME is set correctly to jdk-17.
2-Removed bundled JDK to force the use of external JDK.
3-Created a custom jvm.options.d file to adjust heap size but kept encountering the same crash.

Questions:

Is the access violation due to my heap size configuration? Should I reduce it further?
Could this be a bug in Elasticsearch or Java 17?
```

Why are you not using the bundled JVM?

Which JVM are you using? Is it listed [in the support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix/#matrix_jvm)?

</div>

That is fine as it says it is using the bundled JDK, which is the recommended option.

Does this work or does it produce any error (not warning)?

I thought the latest version of Elasticsearch bundle a newer JVM. Is this error when you are using the bundled version?

</div>

Yes, Because it ignores the JAVA\_HOME that I set in the environment variables.

</div>

I believe Elasticsearch 8.16.1 comes bundled with Java 23 but your error relates to Java 17. Please check the version in your install folder and try unsetting JAVA\_HOME to see if that makes a difference.

Seems to be an issue with permissions? I do not run Elasticsearch on Windows so will likely not be able to help much if there are any Windows specific issues.

I have resolved the permission issue and reran the process, but I encountered this error:
