How are you starting logstash? Please start it again and share fresh logs from the beginning until it stops.

Welcome to the community!

Since you are using Windows, pipeline.yml should be:

```auto
pipeline.yml

- pipeline.id: primary
  path.config: "E:\\config9\\primary\\filename1.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 4
#pipeline.batch.size: 1024
#queue.type: persisted

- pipeline.id: secondary
  path.config: E:\config9\secondary\filename2.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 2
#pipeline.batch.size: 2048
#queue.type: persisted

```

Both option are possible, with the quotations and double backslashes, and single backslashes.

This is the notation how paths are specified in pipeline.yml-LS v9 on Windows, tested, checked, validated.

The most important, it's working, you can continue your work.
