Error starting SQL Server 2017 service. Error Code 3417 - Fixed

Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online. I tried many ways to fix this, including security changes on master.mdf and of course full re-install. Until suddenly I saw in MS SQL log file this error before the main error: Error: 2775, Severity: 17, State: 12.
