In your first errorlog:
2023-03-14 02:13:26.68 spid19s There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO. The current IO is on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS04\MSSQL\Template Data\master.mdf.
You have encountered a sector error.
In addition to the document that Viorel posted I would also like you to read this blog. It contains some screenshots that may be helpful to you.
Best regards,
Seeya
