Kindly help me fix this issue. I understand it has to do with the security bundle of Xpack. Is it a compulsion to use the security bundle that comes with xpack. ---

This is what the error message says: > [@soumya\_sahoo](#): > > X-Pack is not supported and Machine Learning is not available for [windows-x86]; you can use the other X-Pack features (unsupported) by setting xpack.ml.enabled: false in elasticsearch.yml So if you set `xpack.ml.enabled: false` in `elasticsearch.yml`, you should be good to go. ---
