Winlogbeat 8.4.3 "Start-Service winlogbeat" error

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hello,

I'm installing winlogbeat on a windows server 2019 machine.

I'm fairly certain the config files are ok as the following commands output a positive response. (Also my file/audit/metrics run fine on Linux)

.\winlogbeat.exe test config -c .\winlogbeat.yml

Config OK

.\winlogbeat.exe test output -c .\winlogbeat.yml
All - OK

Is there any way to identify further information on the error below?
There's nothing in the winlogbeat logs, event viewer or powershell

PS C:\Program Files\Winlogbeat> Start-Service winlogbeat
Start-Service : Service 'winlogbeat (winlogbeat)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service winlogbeat on computer '.'.

Please assist if possible.

Below is the YAML extract. The only edits I made are below. I may be missing something.

Issue was with both the config file, which has a couple of forward slashes,
and with the location of the winlogbeat.keystore file (It should be moved to ProgramData)
