I have tried running this as an admin, and I have tried repairing, and uninstalling too. I cannot resolve this issue.

    @Yuki Sun-MSFT

    What is the file called to share the log?

    I have turned off my fire walls and virus protection. I ran it as the admin, and I created a virtual HD (volume D), and it still gave me the same problem

    Hi，If you can share your errorlog for more information

    This error means that your account does not have sysadmin privileges on system where you are installing SQL Server express.

    There is anti virus running on system which is blocking registry access. Disable any antivirus/security software and firewall

    For win11, we are aware of at least one issue that many users have seen with SQL 2019 not working when installing on Windows 11 or SQL 2019 no longer working when the OS is upgraded to Windows 11
    You can try to install SQL on a secondary drive (if able) that is a separate physical disk from the system’s C: drive, creating a VHD to use for the SQL Server installation, or enabling TF1800 first

    Micrsoft edge is up to date and I do not have a folder "microsoft edge subkey" under the path you sent in:
    start Registry Editor, right-click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge subkey

    @Sreeju Nair

    Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I have already tired 1 & 2 and it did not work.

    I am on windows 11, and would this be a problem?

    I am not too well advanced in reading problems. I need to express edition to get it used in conjunction with visual studio.
