Hi @Arselane Gaouar

Wait on the database Engine recoveryhandle failed SQL installation failed

Scenario #1: You install any version of SQL Server on a Windows 11 device. Then, you see errors similar to the following message for the Database Engine Services component of SQL Server: Error description: Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.

Please troubleshoot follow by this doc.

Best regards,
