Why won't neo4j CE 3.0.3 start a second time on Windows 7?
<p>This is incredibly strange to me. Neo4j won't start a second time unless I restart Windows.</p>

<p>I installed neo4j Community Edition 3.0.3 on 64-bit Windows 7 and followed this youtube tutorial <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Foj2tzq84DY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Foj2tzq84DY</a>. The tutorial was embedded in neo4j's site <a href="https://neo4j.com/download-thanks/?edition=community&amp;flavour=winstall64&amp;release=3.0.3&amp;_ga=1.203356307.385208157.1468345542" rel="nofollow">https://neo4j.com/download-thanks/?edition=community&amp;flavour=winstall64&amp;release=3.0.3&amp;_ga=1.203356307.385208157.1468345542</a>. Even thought the video lists 2.3 it's linked by Neo4j 3.0.3 download and worked fine for 3.0.3.</p>

<p>Everything worked like a charm. I played around with it for a while and things worked fine. I then shut it down, by clicking on stop in the little gui launcher. When I tried to start it up again, through the start menu, nothing seems to happen at all. I went into the Neo4j CE 3.0.3\bin directory and tried running from there, but I see no error messages, no log directory, no error dialog. I just seems to do nothing. I've also tried "neo4j-ce.exe start" and "neo4j-ce.exe restart". Nothing seems to work. </p>

<p>I checked windows services and didn't see any services starting with neo4j. Don't know if default setup runs it as a service, but if so, maybe it's under something else?</p>

<p>I have been able to get things to start up if I restart Windows, but that's a royal pain and cannot imagine that's intentional.</p>

<p>I do see that there's a jar in the bin directory, so I imagine I could start it with a java command, but I don't know the specifics. However, it's most disconcerting that there is no error message at all. I imagine that something didn't shut down properly, but at this point I have no idea what might be going wrong. </p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated. </p>
