How can I fix the SQL Server -2061893606 error on SQL Server 2022 Express edition?

Question

Hello, I reset my computer completely and deleted all files because I received this error, but it still didn't fix. By the way, my operating system is Windows 11.

Answer 1

This error means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration tasks. To understand why it did not start, check the SQL Server errorlog which should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

If you see a message about 256 misaligned reads, you are running into a known issue for which Microsoft has published this troubleshooter.

Answer 2

Do what the error message says: Review SQL Server error log for more details, see

Answer 4

Hi @Melik Baykal ,

By default, the error log is located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL. n \MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and ERRORLOG.

First you should check your error log. Then follow the documentation they provide to solve your problem. If this does not solve your problem, you will also need to provide your summary.txt or detail.txt

Best regards,

Seeya
