Actually, Windows doesn’t support fork.

Hi @ramya_80655,

Windows doesn’t support fork .

Right, the --fork option is not available for MongoDB windows user ad it is actually a Linux command. One workaround around this is to start mongod on one terminal window and then do all other operations like running mongo shell or starting different mongod processes on other terminal windows.

You can also refer to the links below for alternatives:

Let me know, if these links are helpful to you.
Please get back if you have any questions.

Thanks,
