Very good! I didn't noticed this when I first installed it. I reinstalled it as a service and it is far more convenient.

P.S.: After installation, I opened localhost:9200 on my browser to test if it worked. Surprisingly, it was now asking for username/password. So, I went to %programdata%\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config and edited the elasticsearch.yml file: just changed xpack.security.enabled value to false. After rebooting it worked as expected now.
