I an running Windows 10 on a 64 bit machine.

I am trying to start the elasticsearch service.

I get this message in the log

The data area passed to a system call is too small.

Anyone help?

I am running bin\service start

( should it be bin\elastic-search-service start ? - I don't have this batch file?)

I have JAVA\_HOME set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\_79  
(I tried C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\_79\jre)

Nothing I will allow it to run.

Why do I need this to run TFS in windows.  
I didn't on my previous machine.  
Is there any way I can run TFS without it?
