Answer 1

First: navigate to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\ and run mongod.exe this will start the server .
second : in a new cmd typein mongo
this might work

Answer 2

You first need to start the mongo server using 'mongod.exe' command and set 'data\db' as dbpath where the data will be stored. Make sure the folders are created before running the command.
adding C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\ to your environment variable 'PATH' will be beneficial.
To run the server type the following command in cmd prompt:
mongod --dbpath = C:\data\db
The server should run with default settings at port 27017
To connect to the server, open another cmd prompt and execute the 'mongo.exe' command. This should work.
Else you can try specifying the port number "mongo --port 27017"

Answer 3

First
We Need to Start the mongo server with --dbpath command
Next open seperate command window,
Set path to mongo bin and use mongo.exe command
Then you can start accesing mongo server.
