    Hi @Rana Umar,

    There is not enough information to help you. Could you please post the error logs.

    The location by default is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\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.

    View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn

    When installing SQL server on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, there is a known issue related to system disk sector size greater than 4 KB. If you find error like this: There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO.

    Please troubleshoot follow by this doc: Troubleshoot errors related to system disk sector size greater than 4 KB.

    Regards，

    Zoe Hui
