  • Maintenance hangs

    From Chris Jacobs@2:280/5555.11 to All on Fri Apr 17 23:58:55 2026
    //Hello All,//

    Ihave automation/maintenance/never
    Nevertheles maintenance starts.

    Message on top of the screen:
    Waiting for maintenance and Optimalization to complete ...

    This went on for more than five hours.

    Exiting WinPoint does not work.
    Polling does not work.
    I can solve this temporary by rebooting the computer.
    But after some time the problem comes back.

    Is it really maintenance or maybe optimiziation? Never seen this problem before.

    That message is only at exit right?

    You can just kill the process, though not a a good practice.
