I checked istio github and there is same issue reported 3 days ago.

As i could read there

The issue is windows specific,should be fixed in 1.4.1 release in about 2 weeks

For now i would suggest to use helm instead of istioctl, like @lain mentioned in his answer.

EDIT

There is workaround for istio 1.4.0 provided in github link above

Finally got my hands on a windows machine. Workaround for 1.4.0(folder from the Istio release archive):

istioctl manifest apply --set profile=demo --logtostderr --set installPackagePath=install/kubernetes/operator/charts

Try adding flag --logtostderr.

istioctl manifest apply --set profile=demo --logtostderr
