I’m sure this has happened before. I’ve applied the December 2022 Sharepoint 2016 patches from Microsoft and some workflows stay paused.
Do we have to do a fix in the code again?

HI Everyone,
There has been three different changes/fixes that Microsoft has made to SharePoint at different times in the past which affected Nintex.
Nov 2018 CU: https://community.nintex.com/nintex-for-sharepoint-67/workflow-failed-to-run-failed-to-publish-workflow-workflow-stuck-in-progress-after-applying-microsoft-update-16631
July 2021 CU: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Unable-to-publish-or-run-workflows-after-installing-SharePoint/ta-p/206499
Sep 2022 PU: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Unable-to-publish-or-run-workflows-after-installing-September-PU/ta-p/223483
As you know, SharePoint updates are cumulative, so the issue that you are currently facing with Dec 2022 CU could actually be the same issue that started in Sep 2022 CU.
Depending on which CU version that you upgraded from, you may need to patch the changes from all of the above articles to web.config file.
Alternately, you can also upgrade to the latest version of Nintex Workflows (3.6.4.0/4.6.4.0/5.2.4.0) and perform Nintex Workflow web application activation, which will add all the required authorizedType entries to web.config files.
One other thing to note is that, if your owstimer.exe.config file contains <System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler> <authorizedTypes> section defined in it, then you will also need all of these authorizedTypes declarations from above articles in owstimer.exe.config file as well.
Either the owstimer.exe.config file should contain all the authorizedTypes same as the web.config file or there shouldn’t be <System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler> <authorizedTypes> section at all.
Hope this helps!
