CodePudding user response：

SQL Server 2019 is not supported on Windows 11 at this time. This is documented, in SQL Server 2019: Hardware and software requirements - Operating system support by the omission of Windows 11. As a result any successful attempts to get it running on such an OS would likely be unsupported.

The "solution" is the use an operating system that is supported (see link above). You can either downgrade your install of Windows back to 10 or install afresh. Otherwise you could use a VM with a supported operating system or use a [Linux] container such as Docker (Windows Sub System for Linux (WSL) is not supported).

Hopefully support will be added, but it may well not be, and you'll have to wait for SQL Server 2022 some time next year.
