Hi there,

I installed **Nextcloud** on **Windows with WSL 2** and **Elasticsearch.** All is working great but I’m unable to run Elasticsearch on Windows Startup.

I managed to have **MYSQL, APACHE2 and CRON** running on startup with this solution:

```auto
* adding **%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/mysql start** with sudo visudo
* adding **%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/apache2 start** with sudo visudo
* adding **%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/cron start** with sudo visudo
* Create a shortcut in **shell:startup** with arguments: “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04LTS_2004.4.5.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc\ubuntu2004.exe” run sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
* Create a shortcut in **shell:startup** with arguments: “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04LTS_2004.4.5.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc\ubuntu2004.exe” run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Create a shortcut in **shell:startup** with arguments: “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04LTS_2004.4.5.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc\ubuntu2004.exe” run sudo /etc/init.d/cron start

```

So, logically I tried to do the same for **Elasticsearch** but the service doesn’t start.

That’s strange because I can start the service when I launch the WSL 2 CLI and type: “sudo service Elasticsearch start”

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.  
Franck
