    Mostly this related to corrupted user profile. You may fix that and retry.

    Refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1357905/could-not-find-the-database-engine-startup-handle

    If that doesnot help, a complete reinstall could help. You may refer https://www.sql-easy.com/learn/how-to-uninstall-sql-server/ to completely uninstall SQL Server.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @hamada mostafa mohammed othman,

    Thanks for your information.

    This issue is a generic error that informs you SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration, there are many possible reasons why this issue happens. Could you please provide the detailed error logs here to help us narrow down this issue?

    Best regards,

    Lucy Chen
