ElasticSearch Service won't run as Local System

Elasticsearch

I upgraded my ElasticSearch from 7.3 to 7.5.2 using the MSI, and after the upgrade the ElasticSearch service won't start using the Local System account. I can start it from the command line, and if I change the service to use my account in Services, then it will start just fine.

I'm running it on Windows 2012 R2, and it worked fine before the upgrade. I don't get any good info in the logs. In fact, elasticsearch doesn't even create a log. Has anyone else had this issue?

This is what is logged in the Event Viewer:
