Hi,
I had the same problem. I ran "splunk stop" and it killed the processes I could see in Task Manager. When I ran "splunk start" I noted that the http port was running on 8001 not 8000 as I expected. Hope this helps.
,I had the same issue. When I looked in Task Manager there were 2 processes running. I tried "splunk status" and it popped a second command window which disappeared before I could be sure that anything was running.
I ran "splunk stop" which killed the processes mentioned before and then ran "splunk start". The second window again sporned after the Window privilege warning. The startup ran fine but I noted that the http port was 8001 not 8000 as the doco indicates. Changed the port and it might work!
Good luck
