I installed SQL Server configuration manager and management studio version 2005, on windows 7 Ultimate.
I added a game server to the database and everything worked fine till where I started configuring the game's database and I was prompted to restart/stop/start the server, this is where I was baffled by the errors. I know there are several ways you can do this restart, but I cannot seem to get any to work for issues unknown to me.
I have tried running cmd prompt using the commands:
net stop mssql server
also tried manually doing it from management studio, where the option to restart in the pull down menu appears to be unavailable.
It's helpful if I could get rid of this problem before I can move on to extensive table editing as this itself is being a major pain.
From the start menu, run: services.msc
Scroll down to Sql Server (SQLEXPRESS)
Replace "SQLEXPRESS" with your instance name
Right click --> Restart

The other week I installed the latest version of SQL Server and Management Studio. In the Server Name box was a long name made up of some path and other parts however it has now disappeared and reading all these answers has not helped. I downloaded two backups of databases from a live server and restored them down here. I could access them and everything was fine until the server name disappeared and I have no idea (none of the ones on here work) how to get it back.
If I try localhost, 127.1.1.0 or . as the server name it doesn't work the error I get is:
A network or instance-specific occurred whilst establishing connection to SQL Server....Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40- could not open connection to SQL Server
If I go into services I only have SQL Server Browser and SQL Server VSS Writer. Under Browser it is disabled. If I start it or tell it to start on delayed or manual or just start it, it starts okay and then two seconds later its stopped again with no error message.
If I got to CMD and type (under) I get (under that)
C:\Windows\system32>SQLCMD -L
Servers:
;UID:Login ID=?;PWD:Password=?;Trusted_Connection:Use Integrated Security=?;
*APP:AppName=?;*WSID:WorkStation ID=?;
No list of servers which another answer suggested.
I cannot find under services a MS SQL Service for some reason.
Everything was working fine the last time I came to do some work on this so I don't know if some virus was detected that removed the service or something.
I had two databases to connect to and run queries against and try to get a Windows Service working again locally but I can't get the DB to work.
I am on Windows 8.1 64bit laptop with enough diskspace.
If I go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn and double click sqlservr.exe, I get the error
Your SQL Server Installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting Instance ID from name) Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
Is it a case of me having to uninstall Management Studio and restarting again? I don't know what could have corrupted it but I need it working.
Should I just use the SQL Server 2017 Configuration Server to see if that can fix it or do I need to delete whole directories or "uninstall" from "programs and features" and try to install it again?
Still have no scooby to why the server name disappeared in the first place. Anyone got a clue?
SQL Server should appear in Services (you should not start it by double-clicking sqlservr.exe). If it doesn't appear anymore, you should reinstall SQL Server. After that you may attach the MDF and LDF files of your user databases, if they are still available (but in your case, you can also restore the backups again).
It seems your SQL server is not installed properly or corrupted now.
If the SQL Server installs on any machine there is a service named 'Sql Server(MSSQLSERVER)' or similar must be there and in 'Running' mode to connect to the database.
i would like to ask if anybody having the similar problems like me.
i have downloaded the newest SQL Server Management Studio 2016 Preview from Microsoft web site, and after i installed it (successfully and i need to restart my notebook said the warning box) then, suddenly nothing happens, there is a folder on the start menu that says SQL Server Management Studio 2016, but the folder is self is empty and i do not see the app, first i thought must be i missed something, so i went back and repair those SSMS (through the Repair Menu), but still it is giving me the same error, does anybody here have the similar problem and a way out of it?, since i need this SSMS 2016 to query to my Azure SQL Database.
Thanks!.

That happened with me few times when i tried to install it in not the Administrator mode.
So, try to do that in elevated mode, if that will not help, try to download it again or just rollback to the older version (2014), as it works perfectly with the SQL Azure. SSMS 2016 is still in preview, so the unexpected behavior may happen.
So, it turns out that in Windows 10, all the start menu options may not show up. Try visiting C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2016 RC3 in your File explorer to see if the SSMS shortcut is available there.
Recently I updated my Windows from 8 to 10 and suddenly my SQL Server 2014 stopped working. When I open the Management Studio and try to connect to the Server (local) i obtain the following error:
Does any of you had similar problems? Before updating the Windows everything was running just fine.
I had the same problem after upgrading from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. I was able to resolve it as follow:
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services
The SQL Service Browser was Disabled
Right click and select Properties
Change the Startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start)
Click to Start button to start the service
And off you go. This should resolve the issue.
I just had the same issue after upgrading my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10; however, my solution was slightly different to the one suggested already, I had to:
1) Control Panel
2) Services
3) Right-click, Start, SQL Server service
I had to do this for all the SQL versions I have installed (08R2 up to 14). Somehow the upgrade stopped and didn't restart the SQL service.
I also encountered the same issue upgrading from Windows 7. First thing I did was open the SQL SERVER MANAGER CONSOLE and ensure that the server was still running. After seeing that it was, I restarted it, and that fixed the problem.
I personally would try these simple steps first... never know could be that easy.
Side note - if you have trouble finding the SQL Manager Console in your Programs list like I did, you can likely find it in your C:Windows/SysWOW folder (open file named SQLServerMananger##.msc).
I have a problem with installing SQL Server 2012 (no matter which edition I choose).
Installation usually runs well, but near the end shows up an error:
The help link points to not-existing article on MSDN page.
After I click OK button, the installation reaches it's end and shows up another window:
After that I am able to start, for example SQL Management Studio, but cannot connect to database. Also services of SQL Server are stopped and I am not able to start them manually (any try throws an undefined error):
I tried complete reinstalling of SQL Server, cleaning registry entries, different editions of that software - none method helped. Also, I tried the .iso images of installation media on other computers - it worked well and installed without any errors.
My OS is Windows 8.1 x64.
Let me explain my situation. So I installed a trial of SQL Server 2008. The trial ran out and I tried to go back the SQL Express install I had been use for 5 months with out an issue. I uninstall the features of Server 2008 and try to install SSMSE. I use SSMSE to change a password. I then get error 26 and trouble shoot. It turns out that SQLBrowser service for this database does not show up. I try creating a new db and I can't start the SQLBrowser for that database. I can access the database locally and run queries on it. I know that you need to start SQLBrowser for SQL Express, I can't do this if there is no service to for the setting to change or on the SQLBrowser that is there I can't start it. So what did I due to SQLBrowser and how do I fix?
Within express is not enabled by default:
Open the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. On the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections. then click SQL Server Browser, click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Apply.
Now the service starts automatically every time that you start Microsoft Windows.
