SQL service failing to start - on Windows 10

Question

Hi All,

I have installed MS SQL server 2017 express on my Windows 10 PC but I cannot get the MSSQLEXPRESS service to start.

BTW I am new to SQL so any help would be really great.

Thanks

in advance.

Answer 1

You may set Manual in "Server Configuration" step(P1), so you can start Sql Server Service as next(P2 and P3).

More install and connect information please reference:installing-sql-server-2017-express, how-to-stop-and-start-sql-server-services,connect-to-a-sql-server-instance
