Hello

**My Goal:**  
Install Kibana and Elasticsearch on my Windows 11 VM.

**Our Infrastructure**  
We run our VMs on ESXi and managed them in vCenter.  
I have Admin rights but just for my VM.

**Install processes**  
1.) Downloaded Elasticsearch ([here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html))  
2.) Moved to C:  
3.) Added this to the elasticsearch.yaml

> action.auto\_create\_index: .monitoring\*,.watches,.triggered\_watches,.watcher-history\*,.ml\*

4.) started CMDB (Administrator)  
5.) .\bin\elasticsearch.bat

And then the installation always freezes at this part:

Welcome!

It does not freeze. It's just waiting for you to launch some REST requests...

But the I don't get a Token and when I want to generate one I get the following error:

> bin\elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token.bat --scope kibana

> ERROR: [xpack.security.enrollment.enabled] must be set to `true` to create an enrollment token, with exit code 78

That's another question. Elasticsearch is not frozen.

Which version are you trying to install?  
If 8.10.0, please upgrade to 8.10.1 and do the installation process again.
