We cannot suggest anything specific. You haven't share any logs or error messages.

RabbitMQ 4.1.x is compatible with Erlang 27.x. This is far from the only thing a Windows user needs to pay attention to.

You should be able to run RabbitMQ in a container locally on Windows and avoid most of those Windows peculiarities. Not sure if this might require using the WSL, which in and of itself should be an option.
