The answer is quite easy.  
Winlogbeat is based on GoLang.

In the actual version of Winlogbeat is Windows XP not covered any more in all versions 7.x used.  
Last version that supported Windows XP was Golang version 1.10:  
[https://golang.org/doc/go1.10#ports](https://golang.org/doc/go1.10#ports)  
Which corresponds to versions 6.x at least.  
Depending on the standard configuration the last winlogbeat version that I am aware of is version 6.4.2.  
I was able to start this one up, depending how actual your Windows updates are on Windows XP you still may be able to start as well up to version Winlogbeat 6.8.10.

But even with that it's not supposed to be supported. See support matrix [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#winlogbeat](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#winlogbeat)
