Network-related or instance-specific error when running SQL Server 2008 R2 Express - sql-server-2008r2-express

I have Problem when I run my web project
Error :
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL
Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance
Specified)**
Then I found in SQL Server Configuration Manager that SQL Server Express stopped
When I'm trying to run SQL Server Express, an error appears
Error :
the request failed or the service did not respond in timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details
When I open services.msc to start SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS instance) then this error happen
Error:
Window could not start the sql server (SQLEXPRESS) on local Computer.
For more information , review the System Evemt Log. If this is a non
-Microsoft service,contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 3417
Any solution to solve my problem ???

SQL Server connection to Visual Studio

I'm trying to use POCO to connect to my database.
Whenever I try to connect, I get this error:
Failed to load provider "System.Data.SqlClient".
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
NOTE: it's a local database, and remote access is enabled, TCP/IP is enabled, and the SQL Server service is running.
I'm using .NET Core 7
Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
Thank you all

Why do I get this error when accessing SQL Server Express LocalDB in a "Protected Process Light" (AM-PPL) service

I get this error:

Error connecting to SQL Server 2012 database

I saw all threads regarding this query in stack overflow. But I Can't find any solution
In the morning when I was trying one project on Visual studio 2010 it was working perfectly fine and now after restart while running Visual studio project I get this error and even my SQL Server 2012 is not connecting what must be the problem ?
Error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I found Solution to this problem . i'm Instance was proper but TCP/IP was disabled
Go to SQL server configuration tool and open sql server configuration manager . Click on the instance you want to change . Click on protocols and then enable TCP/IP . IT works fine now :)

connection error occurring

While I'm connecting visual studio 2010 to sql sever 2008, I'm getting an error A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
You are able to connect to your sql server through SSMS ?
If yes then it might be issue with your connection string and else it seems to be issue with credentials or network availability.
More details will be needed in that case.
You can get help in generating connection strings using ".udl" files.

Unable to start SQL server Agents

been trying to configure an ADO.NET connection for my Visual Studio application but I am running into issues and having no luck at all troubleshooting them. The major error that I run into is:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or not accessible. Verify the instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections (Error 40: Could not open connection to the SQL server)
The steps I undertook to troubleshoot this are:
1. Open up Sql server configuration manager and under the SQL Server Network Configuration, Protocols for MSSQLSERVER,SQLExpress, SQL server 2008 connection string data source I enable each of the protocol names (Shared memory, Named pipes,TCP/IP,VIA)
As instructed I stop the SQL server services first under the SQL server services nodes.
Now I click start, MSSQL server service starts but both SQL Server 2008 and SQLEXPRESS agents do not. Stating the following:
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details
This might just be the problem as when I attempt to create the connection string , the server name specified is MYWORLD/SQL SERVER 2008. Since the SQL server 2008 agent service refuses to start, the connection fails, leading to the first error message.
Does anybody have any leads on this and can let me know the necessary steps to mitigate this.
The SQL Browser service must be running to connect to a named instance.
Use SQL Servr Configuration Manager under Configuration Tools under Microsot SQL Server 2008 to assign the logon accounts for each service you want to run. Do NOT use any other method to assign user accounts because the correct rights will not be enabled.
