Using the MongoDB Community version 8.0.3 Server on Windows Server 2019 Standard, the will start and run as expected. Data can be inserted and retrieved with no problems. 

Once the MongoDB server is shutdown and restarted, it will crash when trying to access the data created from the original session. 

It doesn't matter if the server is installed and run as a Windows service or if just the binaries are installed and the server is run from the command interpreter.

The server will start back up without crashing if we delete the following files:

<data_dir>\WiredTiger
<data_dir>\WiredTiger.lock
<data_dir>\WiredTiger.turtle
<data_dir>\WiredTiger.wt
<data_dir>\WiredTigerHS.wt

The entire <data_dir>\journal\ folder

However, all of the previously inserted data is then missing.

We have duplicated this behavior in both MongoDB 8.0.3 and MongoDB 8.04.
