Hi Rouzbeh_Talebi --  Ok, no problem.  We need to determine what is preventing SQL Server from starting.

 

Right click on that same service again, choose Properties.  Go to the Advanced tab.  Find the entry called Dump Directory and copy that location.  Paste that location (it will be something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.<Instance Name Here>\MSSQL\LOG\) into File Explorer.

 

Find a file named ERRORLOG.  Open that file in Notepad.  Feel free to copy the contents of the file into the forum and I'll take a look.
