In the Windows 11 operating system, IIS frequently stops running and SQL reports errors.
After installing IIS and SQL on Windows 11 Home Edition, the IIS application pool frequently stops automatically, and SQL simultaneously reports an offset error. How can this be diagnosed and fixed?

Since Windows 11 Home has limitations, consider upgrading to Windows 11 Pro for better support of server features. Use dedicated virtual machines for running IIS and SQL Server if stability remains problematic. Regularly back up your configuration and data
