Windows Services not restarting

Veeam is one of them. our print audit software is another. Anything that seems to be attached to a SQL instance seems to not want to start up after a reboot.

I had this issue after upgrading Veeam to update 4 and its SQL services. Let me check my notes to see if I can recall what the cause was.

@WLS-ITGuy - It had to do with SQL not liking earlier versions of TLS or SSL being disabled.

Did it matter on OS? These are 2016 servers that services aren't firing up on.

It may. This was server 2012 R2. SQL server express, either 2012 or 2014.

We recently picked up a new customer because the users couldn't log in each morning until they had walked over to the server and logged in to the desktop. We came in because the old company couldn't fix it.
We found AVAST installed on the server and AVAST is known for preventing services from starting before certain conditions are met.
Uninstalled it and VIOLA!
Moral: Don't rule out the low hanging fruit....

That makes it much weirder.

Have you tried setting them to delayed start? Maybe SQL Server is taking too long and they are hanging while waiting on it.

I thought I did that but guess not. We'll start there and see what happens.
