I am a novice Nintex user.  I have created a workflow which pauses for 1 minute.  However, it is now stopping at this action and has done so for over 3 hours.  I have looked up resolutions on the net but they all included complex code.  Is there a simple solution to get the workflow running again?

Hello Renne,

You might need to work with your SharePoint Admin to get this fixed. The pause time depends of SharePoint/Workflow Timer Job. Did you have a look at: Workflows not continuing - Timer Service and Delays 

Or have a look at:  

I hope it helps.
