Good night. I ask for your help to solve the following problem (my english is very bad):
When I try to install SQL Server 2019 Express on Windows 11, it gets stuck on SqlEngineConfigAction_install_confignonrc_Cpu64.
I already tried running the following command for cmd but it didn't work: reg add "HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesstornvmeParametersDevice" /v "ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes" /t reg_multi_sz /d "4095" /f*
However, I did the installation on another Windows 10 laptop and had no problems.
I thank you for your cooperation.

Олег Федько 15 Reputation points2023-05-11T16:47:03.0433333+00:00 Same story but with SQL Server 2017 + Windows 11 + Kaspersky.
Just paused Kaspersky and installation of SQL Server 2017 immediately succesfully finished.

2023-01-30T08:21:29.7833333+00:00 Hi @Nrosario98
As Olaf answered, Windows 11 uses different block sizes for disc alignment (32k) which aren't supported by SQL Server.
Please follow by that link: Troubleshoot errors related to system disk sector size greater than 4 KB.
Add the traceflag 1800 to the SQL Server startup parameter which might help.
If still get error, please post the error logs. The location by default is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log
There is a summary.txt file and many subfolders created every time the Installation wizard is started. In those subfolders, we can find a Detail.txt file.
Best regards,
