SQL Server Launchpad service will not start

I have tried to solve this problem by installing a new VM with latest build of Windows 11 and SQL Server 2022 Developer Edition. However, I still get the same error.

When I try and start the SQL Server Launchpad Service in SQL Server Configuration Manager I get the message:

"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion."

The only useful event log appears to be the EXTLAUNCHERRORLOG in ~/MSSQL/Log/ExtensibilityLog

The last 4 lines are below are where the error occurs:

--

2025-02-10 19:03:15.870 Security Context Manager initialization failed. ErrorCode: 0x8032000c.

2025-02-10 19:03:15.870 Satellite Session Manager failed to initialize the security context manager. ErrorCode: 0x8032000c.

2025-02-10 19:03:15.870 Satellite Session Manager initialization failed. ErrorCode: 0x8032000c.

2025-02-10 19:03:15.870 Initialization of satellite session manager failed. ErrorCode: 0x8032000c.

--

The only thing I can find for ErrorCode: 0x8032000c is:

--

FWP_E_WRONG_SESSION

0x8032000C

The call was made from the wrong session, so it cannot be completed.

This is such a basic setup that anyone should be able to replicate this error.

    Are you running Windows 11 24H2? Try with Windows 11 23H2 instead. I have run into the same error when I've tested, and another user reported the same problem a few weeks back. It works with 23H2.
