If the service isn't starting, check the Windows Event Viewer for errors related to the SQL Server service. Ensure the SQL Server configuration manager is configured correctly. Examine the SQL Server error logs for startup failures. Validate that the SQL Server service account has the necessary permissions and that the SQL Server installation directory is accessible.
