    I see this:

    Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed.

    This error means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration.

    To understand why SQL Server did not start, you need to check the SQL Server errorlog, which you find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG (assuming a default installation of SQL Express).

    If you see a message about 256 misaligned reads, you are encountering a known issue where Windows 11 for some disk drives reports a sector size that SQL Server cannot cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds.

    If you are not seeing that message, feel free to attach the errorlog where. You will need to rename it to ERRORLOG.
