Hello,
I am having issues setting up my sharepoint server 2016 server at home. It is stuck on "creating configuration task" on the configuration wizard. Any fix or idea on what could be causing the issue? I have a SQL server already set up on a virtual core server. Screenshot is attached.
Ok a couple of things to verify.
Please verify:
That you have run the configuration wizard as an Administrator. I know, simple but just a verification.
Verify that the version of SharePoint you've chosen and make sure that the SQL server version you have running is the version or later that is supported.
Cordially,

The account you are running the SharePoint configuration wizard with needs admin permissions on the SQL server as well. At a minimum, it must have create DB permissions. It will be used to create the configuration database and assign permissions over the configuration database to service accounts created by the SharePoint configuration wizard.

I checked the permissions and verified that my SQL account has permissions in three security groups. It took hours to install though. Even when I try to make changes, it just takes forever to get to things. Is this a memory issue on the sharepoint server? I have it set for 12GB of RAM on the SP server.
Check out the requirements from Microsoft here:

Are you running SharePoint and SQL on the same server? Both SharePoint and SQL require a good deal of resources to perform well. Most lab environments I've dealt with, the performance was horrible. Click and wait a lot!
The requirements @Ronnie-Wong posted are good to reference. You will see for a single server they recommend 24GB ram, 4 cores and multiple drives. Keep in mind these are minimum requirements, for good performance you will need more.

I have sharepoint and SQL server running on separate servers.
Finally fixed the issue. It needs 12GB of RAM and 4 virtual processors for it to work properly. Thanks a lot.
