Troubleshoot errors related to system disk sector size greater than 4 KB
The following error codes may refer to this issue:
0x851A0019
0x851A001A
Error: 5178, Severity: 16, State: 1.
Bootstrapper handled error 26203: Failed to connect to SQL database.
The SQL Server eventually crashes:
Faulting application name: sqlservr.exe
The issue typically occurs using modern storage platforms, such as NVMe on Windows 11 (or after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11).

Possible way to fix the sector size to 4096 bytes:
1. Open the PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Paste and run the following command: REG ADD “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stornvme\Parameters\Device” /v ‘ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes’ /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d “* 4095” /f
3. Close the PowerShell and restart the computer.
