Solution If you uninstalled Windows SharePoint Services, the database content was not removed, so you can automatically restore the content by reinstalling Windows SharePoint Services.

When the installation is complete, click Close.
The SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard appears. Click Next.
Click Yes to restart the services, and then click Finish.
If you receive an error message in Microsoft Internet Explorer, ignore the message and close the Internet Explorer window.
Open Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl\, find the entry named: NT Authority\NETWORK SERVICE, and then, if needed, change the value from 0x0 to 0x1.
