Hi
I have been using MongoDB Community edition (version mongodb-win32-x86_64-2012plus-4.2.5-signed) on my PC until yesterday, running Windows 10. Not sure if this is relevant, but for background I am accessing the same DB from a laptop (same versions of MongoDB and Windows10), not at the same time (!), so that I can do development work at home or when away. I have the MongoDB files set up in a folder that is mirrored across devices using sync.com (similar to Dropbox). This has worked all worked fine until yesterday.
Yesterday mongoDB would not start as a service on my main PC (note it continues to work fine on my laptop - the service starts and I can access the db no problem). I have tried various options suggested on the internet including --repair, trying to give admin permissions to everything (although think this is unnecessary because it worked without special permissions before and from what I can see most recommendations about this are the unix/linux installs) and finally I have done a full uninstall and clean install. I am at a point where the Windows service will not start, nor will it work if I run it from the command line… unless I remove the --server option and then it works fine.
So, if I run the following at the command line the service doesn’t start (this is copied and pasted from the Windows services “path to executable”):
“C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe” --config “C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.cfg” --service
However, if I run the following at the command line then it works fine and I am able to connect using Compass/run my app:
“C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe” --config “C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.cfg”
Note this is running in the command prompt without admin rights in both cases, which I think suggests this isn’t a rights issue(?)
The log file for the failed start isn’t very informative (to me at least, but then I am completely new to this!) I have included the log below that includes both the failed start using the --server option and then a successful run with the --server option removed. Note I have inserted a blank line between the two runs just for clarity.

And finally, if I start the service via the Windows Services app I get error 1053 as per the screenshot below. If I look in the Windows Event Viewer (Windows Logs\System) there are two entries for this. One with the message below and the second says, “A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the MongoDB Server service to connect.” (although it takes less than a couple of seconds to fail, not the 30 seconds this suggests).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
