Hi guys the problem its that im trying to install SQL server express, i had installed previously and at first the problem was that the installed instances didnt worked so i uninstalled everything so i could make a clear install, the problem is that theres something missing.

i uninstalled everything from control panel and from apps and features, also removed registers from regedit and removed the SQL server files from "program files", after everything i reboot.

Here is what my ERRORLOG shows.

    There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO. The current IO is on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Template Data\master.mdf.

    You are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for certain SSDs reports a disk-sector size that SQL Server is not able to cope with. Microsoft has published this article with workarounds.

    There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO. The current IO is on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Template Data\master.mdf.

    It is a known issue, please check it out there.
