I’m facing an issue with SQL Server Agent and SQL Server services. Initially, both services were not starting. After multiple troubleshooting attempts, I managed to start them successfully. However, I am still unable to log in to the database using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).

I also formatted the system and reinstalled everything, but the issue remains unresolved.

I am using:

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2019

Please find the attached error screenshot for reference.

Kindly help me with a solution to this problem.c1a3402a-9ea1-409f-9aff-f1233714b582

    In C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log, there is one folder per installation attempt with lots of log files. Of most interest are summary.txt and details.txt. Feel free to attach them here. Also, if there is a file with ERRORLOG in the name, attach that one too.

    A remark: It seems that you have selected to install all components. I would recommend that you don't install Data Quality Services, Polybase, SQL Server Analysis Services, unless you know that you actually need them. They are not the reason why your installation fails, but you should litter your machine with things you don't need. You can always add a component later, if it turns out that you need it.
