Emby takes forever to restart on server reboot.

[ab123ga 17]

Whenever I reboot my computer, everything else comes up within a reasonable period of time except for Emby. It will take over an hour swirling then most times I have to "restart" before I can use the system.  In this example, Emby started up around 13:19ET. An hour later it is up only because I resorted to "restart". 

File 1 has a 9 minute gap between 

2026-03-01 13:24:00.127 Info TaskManager: Hardware Detection Completed after 1 minute(s) and 7 seconds
2026-03-01 13:33:29.533 Info SystemEvents: SystemEvents_TimeChanged

5 minute gap between

And it goes on and on. 

 

The 2nd file from start 14:18 to useability was less than 5 minutes.

Hi, what exactly makes you think that you need to restart?

@LukeThe UI just spins whenever trying to access any page. Home, Settings, anything. It does not matter. This is the same whether I'm locally connected or from a separate system. If I do not reboot  emby from the server side it never comes up. Note that I give up after an hour of waiting. Could it come up on its own after 2-3 hours, maybe but after 1 hour, I give up. Note that I could probably restart much sooner than the 1hr mark but that's the same thing. At least for me restart is the only thing that works.
