 [[notable-8.18.0]]
 ==== Performance improvements and notable issues fixed
+* Fixed an issue to execute pqcheck and pq repair on Windows OS. Previously https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16205[#16205] solved the problem with space character in the installation path but introduced another issue now solved by https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/17120[#17120]
 * Fixed an issue where the `/_node/stats` API displayed empty pipeline metrics when X-Pack monitoring was enabled https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/17185[#17185].
 * Persistence queue moved deserialization of read events outside a critical section, this could give a boost up to 5 times to events per second read speed https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/17050[#17050].
 * Starting from es-output 12.0.2, a 404 response is treated as an error. Previously, central pipeline management considered 404 as an empty pipeline, not an error https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/17052[#17052].
