I have installed **metricbeat 7.17.5** on my windows machine and I enabled the **windows** module. And I added this configuration :

```auto
module: windows
    metricsets:
      - service
    enabled: true
    period: 30s

```

But when I run metricbeat I get this error in the documents : **error while querying the service configuration dcsvc: The system cannot find the file specified.**  
When I switch the language of my computer from English to Frensh the error is gone and it works smoothly. What can I do to fix this issue ?
