could you please answer a few questions that will allow me to help you better. thanks.

what version of kibana are you running ?  
how do you start it and how do you start elasticsearch ?  
do you have x pack installed on both sides ?  
which version of xpack ?

does this happen everytime or just the first time you run kibana ?

That's the problem.  
Did you follow the install docs for all of X-Pack? [Setting Up X-Pack | X-Pack for the Elastic Stack [6.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-setup.html)
