Troubleshooting MongoDB Startup Errors on Windows 10

If you've recently installed MongoDB on your Windows 10 machine and encountered an error while trying to start the service, you’re not alone. Many users face issues at this stage, and it can be frustrating, especially when errors seem to pop up without clear explanations. In this guide, we’ll explore common problems and provide a comprehensive step-by-step solution to get your MongoDB server running smoothly.
