Hi everyone,

I’m writing here for the first time because I ran out of ideas.

I had a working SQLServer Express 2019 (CU13) on Win10Pro machine. For educational and development purposes, local instalation, nothinng special.

Recently, I upgraded Win10 to Win11. The SQLServer service stopped working immediately. I tried everything to start the service but no luck.

The next thing I tried was uninstall SQLServer2019 and install new one (2022 and 2019, same thing). At the end of the instalation, both give me the same error:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Setup
——————————

The following error has occurred:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Error code: 0x84BB0001

I searched all over the Internet and tried:

Uninstall SQLServer and all components, delete all folders related with SQLServerClean the registry keys and values related to SQLServer manually and check with CCleanerCheck fsutil fsinfo sectorinfo C:, and it is fine (512/4096)Tried sfc, d*ism, chkdsk – all okDownload new ISO installation (2022 and 2019), mountsetup.exe – Run as AdministratorDisable firewall, antivirus, DefenderTried installing under the default directory name and the short one, changed instance nameCreate new local admin user and install under the new user

Nothing helps. The error is the same whatever I do or install 2019 or 2022 version.

Checked error log – can’t find anything to guide me to the solution.

Checked Global Rules – it’s fine

The SSD that I have is (the same SSD as on Win10 where everything worked):

SCSIDiskNVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512HBLU-00BL27L2QFXM7
SCSIDiskNVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512HBLU-00BL2
SCSIDiskNVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512FXM7
SCSIDiskNVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512
SCSIDiskNVMe____
SCSINVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512F
NVMe____SAMSUNG_MZALQ512F
GenDisk

…any ideas?

TIA
