I've been stuck on installing and uninstalling the application sql server 2019 and everytime it just shows an error. SO... I went ahead and hard reset my laptop twice. Still no luck, I've been stuck on this for about a month and I am time mangaged to turn in some schoolwork. I can't turn it in because I need this application up and running. The error occurs the moment it is trying to install the product. I've spoken to my IT tech center, I've gone to best buy, I've followed all the steps to get this to work and nothing. Can y'all please just help me?Screenshot 2023-08-06 102748

    The message Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed is a generic error that means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration steps. To understand why it did not start, you need to look in the SQL Server errorlog, which you find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

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

    If you don't see the message about misaligned reads, feel free to upload the errorlog here, so we can look at it. You will need to rename to ERRORLOG.txt for the forum software to accept it.
