`yarn es snapshot` is the command to run a local Elasticsearch cluster for your development, the process doesn't automatically terminate to keep Elasticsearch running.

Were you able to successfully run `yarn kbn bootstrap`? That process is typically the slowest, especially [because Windows is a slower environment](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/running-a-kibana-plugin-for-local-development-is-very-slow/220501).
