Operation shorturls.find() buffering timed out after 10000ms in Mongoose: How to resolve?

Question

I'm encountering a MongooseError when I started my server.

      const err = new MongooseError(message);
                  ^

MongooseError: Operation shorturls.find() buffering timed out after 10000ms at Timeout. (E:\backend\url-shortener-master\node_modules\mongoose\lib\drivers\node-mongodb-native\collection.js:198:23) at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17) at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)

I was trying to run the server successfully but instead this error popped up.
