    Hello there,

    You need to look at the SQL Server error log, which should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQ15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\LOG\Errorlog (assuming a default installation). The problem is that SQL Server does not start. The errorlog may tell you why.

    Try the solutions discussed in this Microsoft article https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24364.sql-server-troubleshooting-could-not-find-database-engine-startup-handle-error-during-installation.aspx

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
