Could you please post the error logs.
The location by default is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log
There is a summary.txt file and many subfolders created every time the Installation wizard is started. In those subfolders, we can find a Detail.txt file.

Try uninstalling this feature, and then run the setup process again.

To understand why it did not start, you need to check the SQL Server errorlog, which you find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.SQLEXPRESS\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 disk-sector size that SQL Server cannot cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.
