I see this in the errorlog:

There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO.

You are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for some disk drives reports a sector size that SQL Server does not cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.

I suspect that once you apply the workarounds, you will get other errors, because in this situation Setup usually fails as it can't complete the configuration of the SQL Server instance.

Hello, I have the same problem and I have the correct sector size (4096).

Please post a new question and share the logs. Piggybacking on old questions does not align well with the structure of this forum.
