Scheduled workflows failing to start since upgrading from 2013 to SharePoint 2016

Hi,

First thing to check is to make sure that the ScheduledWorkflows timer job is running.
 

If not,  as per the linked article above you will need to add it manually with the NWAdmin tool.

 

Please type (do not copy and paste) these commands:

1.NWAdmin.exe -o UninstallTimerJob -job ScheduledWorkflows

    (Use above line if it is currently installed on Central Admin Web App, if not specify what Web App to remove it from using -url switch)

Then:

2. NWAdmin.exe -o InstallTimerJob -job ScheduledWorkflows -url http://yourwebappurl/

Naturally, you will need to replace http://yourwebappurl/ with the real URL of the relevant web application you choose to install it on.

Simon, thanks so much for your reply. Our admin tried that out without luck. However, he did notice that one of the updates wasn’t applied to just one of our servers and that was causing the issue with the scheduled items not starting. 

Thanks!
