I’m facing an issue with SQL Server Agent and SQL Server services. Initially, both services were not starting. After multiple troubleshooting attempts, I managed to start them successfully. However, I am still unable to log in to the database using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).
I also formatted the system and reinstalled everything, but the issue remains unresolved.
I am using:
Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2019
Please find the attached error screenshot for reference.
Kindly help me with a solution to this problem.
SQL Server Database Engine

Of most interest are summary.txt and details.txt. Feel free to attach them here. Also, if there is a file with ERRORLOG in the name, attach that one too.
A remark: It seems that you have selected to install all components. I would recommend that you don't install Data Quality Services, Polybase, SQL Server Analysis Services, unless you know that you actually need them. They are not the reason why your installation fails, but you should litter your machine with things you don't need. You can always add a component later, if it turns out that you need it.

2025-08-07T20:47:28.1633333+00:00 Don't try this before we have checked the log files. Using local system is never the correct solution to problem with installing SQL Server. It can help to mask to actual problem in some situations, though.
