    "Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed" is a generic message which means that SQL Server did not start when Setup needed to run configuration. As the message says, you need to check the SQL Server errorlog. You find it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

    If you find a message about 256 misaligned reads, you are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for certain disk drives reports a disk-sector size that SQL Server chokes on. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.
