issue fixed After adding 'xpack.ml.enabled: false' in elasticsearch.yml and adding a custom path for java.io.tmpdir in jvm options.

referred to Linux OS : Failed to create native process factories for Machine Learning

The ES_TMPDIR variable is not set anymore in the script elasticsearch-service.bat.

Dirty fix :
Edit the file elasticsearch-service.bat by adding the code below under :foundJVM

if not defined ES_TMPDIR (
for /f "tokens=* usebackq" %%a in (CALL %JAVA% -cp "!ES_CLASSPATH!" "org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.TempDirectory") do set ES_TMPDIR=%%a
)
