SQL Server 2016 Dev service wont start There are no errors at all in the application event viewer log, the only errors I found were in System (the ones I note above) I assumed the SQL Server logs were not being written because SQL Server never even got to that point and the service was failing to start so early in the process that it never even got to the SQL Server startup phase Edited bybaal32Monday, October 3, 2016 10:37 PM
