For anyone who faced this error on 2020, with version 4.4.1 of mongo, and the accepted answer not solve the issue, here is what I've done:

1. Remove all mongo services from pc (add/remove programs).
2. Go to program files and backup the MongoDB folder.
3. Remove the MongoDB folder.
4. Re-install mongo db.

And it should work.

UPDATE for January 2021, the following saved me without re-installing MongoDB and losing all my data:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin>mongod --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\data" --repair
