When I try to start my MongoDB service I keep getting the following message:
Windows could not start the MongoDB service on Local Computer
Error: 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly
MongoDB version: 2.6

Try running mongod.exe from elevated command line and see if you get more details.– Alex SCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 21:39

1Check if you have enough space on your hard drive. MongoDB usually requires 3-5GB of free space.– Marek Musielak ♦Commented Feb 1, 2019 at 21:43

The docker image for Mongo is very easy to use, have you thought about using this rather than installing mongo?– GravypowerCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 21:55

1Check the log files in Mongo directory. Usually provide a good idea. The windows logs provide zero idea.– Chris AuerCommented Feb 2, 2019 at 0:42

Thanks @MarekMusielak and Chris, that's what I found on my logs: "ERROR: Insufficient free space for journal files". Marek, please convert your comment into an answer and I'll gladly accept it :)– Hugo SantosCommented Feb 2, 2019 at 11:29

I had same issue and the reason was that I didn't have enough free space on the hard drive.
MongoDB usually requires 3-5GB of free space.
If there is not enough space, the service will not start and you will see message:
Windows could not start the MongoDB service on Local Computer
Error: 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly
