Hi, I haven't been able to install logstash-input-syslog I thought this could be solved by following [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-permission-denied-nul-error/303686/3) but it did not solve it I am trying this in a Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation VM (WINDEV2204EVAL) Attaching the jvm.options file, I added the `-Djdk.io.File.enableADS=true` at the end. ```auto ## JVM configuration # Xms represents the initial size of total heap space # Xmx represents the maximum size of total heap space -Xms1g -Xmx1g ################################################################ ## Expert settings ################################################################ ## ## All settings below this section are considered ## expert settings.

I'm seeing exactly the same issue when trying to install Logstash 8.3.0 on Windows 10 (as part of an upgrade from Logstash 8.1.2). All I've done is unpack the Logstash 8.3.0 zip file into a suitable folder and then run the logstash-plugin.bat file to list the installed plugins. This results in the same failure as Carlos has reported: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/a/aa41f1efbda67c51602af464a3e766f30a561dd0.png) I still see the error even after following the instructions to add the following line to the logstash config jvm.options file: `-Djdk.io.File.enableADS=true` Thanks, Steve ---

Just tried the latest LS version (8.3.1) released a few days ago but that shows the same issue. Steve ---

To provide an update here, I am not sure if it is necessary to install the plugins since these are loaded depending on the ones stated in the .conf file. ```auto PS C:\logstash-8.3.2> .\bin\logstash.bat -f .\config\.conf ``` ---
