While this isn't native to the Elastic stack it is possible with a log rotate script. On Linux you would use logrotate as described here:

In your case on Windows I found this powershell script option on TechNet: [Browse code samples | Microsoft Learn](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShell-Script-to-Roll-a96ec7d4)

The powershell script doesn't meet exactly the needs you spelled out but could be modified to meet what you're looking for.
