Hi @akshay_81885,

Let me know if you are still facing this issue. If yes, make sure you do not surround connection uri with double quotes in .env file.

found the Problem

delete the file name “dotenv_win”
delete those words and the file will only be ".env "
It doesn’t have any name it is just .env
Put Nothing before the .env just leave it blank…
