Cannot Start Tomcat Windows Service_01/21/24

I receive the Windows error below every time I try to start the Tomcat Windows service after modifying the server.xml file to require TLS. I used the instructions below and other online sources to find the proper syntax to modify server.xml. Nothing has worked. I used the keytool commands to create my own keystore and self-signed certificate. 
 
 
 
Instructions
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
 
Key Information
keytool -genkeypair -alias <name> -keyalg RSA -validity 1095 -keystore "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0_Tomcat9.0.85\conf\Certificates\"
 
Software Information
OS: Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019
Java: JDK (build 1.8.0_391-b13)
Apache Tomcat: Version 9.0.85

The above command will not work as written. You can't point -keystore to 
a directory. It must be a file.

please provide the log file messages.
There should be more information in <Tomcat>\logs
