Hello there

I'm using Windows 11 and SQL Server

When I run in browser DB::table('users')->get(); I got this could not find driver (Connection: sqlsrv, SQL: select * from [users].

Could anybody help ?

When I execute php artisan migrate or php artisan tinker it works but when I visit the route that contains a query I got the issue.

Have you added the SQL Server extension DLL to the ext directory of the PHP version you are using and added it to php.ini? The SQL Server extension is not included by default.
