I am trying to set up SSMS with a local db configuration on my machine but its failing with a not so helpful error message.

The plan is to first install the SQL server and then the SSMS to add the created server as a db engine but the first step itself is resulting in an error.
Error message

Detailed results:
Feature: Database Engine Services
Status: Failed
Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, uninstall this feature, and then run the setup process again.
Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
Component error code: 0x851A001A
Error description: Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.

Any help is appreciated.

I have tried re-installing and I am doing it on a fresh Windows 11 image with no earlier configuration of SQL server whatsoever.
