'Performed an update to SP3 for SQL Server 2016 and now my Server won't start
I executed the SP3 update and afterwards my SQL Server won't start.
Logs say that the master file is corrupted. I have backups of all the databases in the server but I cannot restore them as the server is offline.
I've searched around and saw some suggestions to re-run the setup file but I am having trouble locating an SQL Server 2016 installer.
I'm currently trying to restore the master database in another server instance but that is producing it's own issues.
Is there a way to fix this issue with as little data loss as possible? There is production data in the servers as well so I do not want to lose anything
