We have encountered this problem with Windows 7 and Windows 8. After the upgrade SQL Server does not start. We have been able to start it manually, but it will not start automatically.
So far our only solution has been to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server.
Please verify that Service "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" is started. Just now I upgraded to Windows 10 and got the same issue.
I started the "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" service and now I am able get into Sql server.
Try changing your connection string to IP/NameInstance, it works for me. Before I used to have localhost/NameInstance in my connection string but since I updated to windows 10, it did not work anymore.
