This page provides a solution to the error The SQL Server (Instance_Name) service terminated with service-specific error 3417 (0xD59).

Context

The error occurs when starting a SQL Server instance from the Services manager

Reason

The problem occurred because the data and log files of the instance was automatically compressed by the system and therefore not readable for startup. This is the case when the system is configured to automatically compress unused files after a certain time to save disk space.

Solution

To enable the startup, uncompress those data and log files.
