I cannot start the instance MSSQLSERVER since I tried to update SQL Server 2012 using Windows Update. As I was updating it, Windows Update gave me an error message saying that the update failed. I decided to run the update again, and it succeeded, I believe. Then I started SQL Server Management Studio, and I noticed that the name of my server in the Object Explorer did not have a green arrow next to it but a white circle. I knew something was wrong, so I ran Sql Server Configuration Manager and saw that the state for MSSQLSERVER was "Change Pending". I decided to restart Windows 7 Home Premium and start SQL Server Management Studio. I tried to connect to my server, but I got a connection error message. I ran Sql Server Configuration Manager again and saw that MSSQLSERVER was in the "Stopped" state. I looked at Event Viewer and saw two error messages that showed the cause of this problem. The title of this thread is the beginning of one of the error messages. Can you help me resolve my issue? Thank you.
