This is a known issue with Windows 11 reporting disk-sector sizes that SQL Server cannot cope with. See this article from Microsoft for workarounds.

Answer 2

Hi @ardaboran
Windows 11 systems tend to have system disk sector size greater than 5Kb. The article above in Erland's answer has commands that allow you to change disk sector size reading, which helps.
