Answer 1

For those with Windows. I had the same problem on Windows. Restarting Mongodb service solves this.

Following are the steps to restart on Windows:

i). Go To "Services" on Windows.

ii). Search for "MongoDB" in the list of services.

iii). Right click "start"/"restart" depending on your status.

iv). After the status turns to "running" check if issue is resolved by running "Mongo" or connecting your Mongo client.
