In Chapter 2. I installed mongodb version v4.0.6, end of installation it shows a popup saying unable to start the service. getting below error.
“Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”

Also I tried to connect the Sandbox cluster from command prompt(using windows 10)
getting below error.

try ‘mongo --help’ for more information

Try to start the service from command prompt, got the below error.

Have you tried checking if “Service Mongod” is running?

Hi Jorlin,

I’m not sure… maybe something went wrong during the installation?? (my service is using “Network Service”)
Did you try to reinstall MongoDB?
Also… if you check in the properties of the service… you can see the script that is being executed…

Maybe if you run that in dos, it will give you more details on the error.
