Earlier, I tried running kafka 2.13-3.0.0 on windows 10 with Java 8. After making changes to the config\zookeeper.properties and zonfig\server.properties file, adding a path in logs.dir variable, my zookeeper start running, but I am unable to get the kafka serve up, it is always giving the issue mentioned below:

After looking at solutions on the net, I found this issue is majorly visible in the latest kafka versions, so I installed 2.12-2.0.0 as well (the version which the guy in the tutorial from where I was learning from, used) and tried the same thing again, it is again giving the same error mentioned above. Is it impossible to run kafka on windows 10? If yes, then what are the alternatives? Any help will be appreciated.
