There could be several reasons why the winSW service is not starting successfully with telegraf. Here are a few things to check:

1. Check the service configuration: Make sure that the configuration file for the winSW service is set up correctly and includes all necessary parameters for starting telegraf. You can use the 'sc query' command in the command prompt to check whether the service is installed and running.

2. Check the telegraf configuration: Verify that the telegraf configuration file is set up correctly and pointing to the correct data sources for collection. You can test the telegraf configuration by running the 'telegraf --test' command in the command prompt.

3. Check for conflicts: Look for any conflicts with other services or applications running on the same machine that may be preventing telegraf from starting correctly. Check logs and error messages for any clues.

4. Check for permissions: Ensure that the user account running the winSW service has appropriate permissions to access the necessary files and folders for telegraf to operate correctly.

5. Restart the service: Try restarting the winSW service and see if that resolves the issue. Use the 'sc stop' and 'sc start' commands in the command prompt to do so.
