I had the same issue, but hard reset (unplugging RPi from power) did the trick! Hopefully this will help others.

Great many thanks. Exactly this solution is working!!. How easy :slightly_smiling_face:

I had the same issue upgrading from pi3 to x86 (both hass os). Add-ons displayed as not started despite supervisor logs showing a lot of “XXX already started!” warnings. Did a partial restore (add-ons only) from the same snapshot used for the initial restore followed by a host reboot and everything is working now. I’m not sure if the partial restore was necessary. Thanks to this thread to help me resolve w/o rebuilding from scratch!

I had the same problem, that after the snapshot restore the addons no longer worked. For me, the solution was quite simple.
I restarted the host, after everything had booted up I only restarted the Pi via “Restart”, then everything worked again.
Homematic also found the devices again.

++ migrated to a new eMMC Module this morning and the hard reboot (and some patience) resulted in not having to do anything crazy

Migrated from HAOS VM to Pi 4 - hard reboot solved the issue. Migrated HACS as well.

Hard reboot solved the issue in 2022.9.5. I had to restore from a snapshot and the add ons couldn’t be started. Thanks!

For anyone that cannot find the hard reboot, its under Settings > System > Hardware > 3 dots at the top > Reboot Host

(Restart from the Developer options page did not fix the add-ons not starting, Reboot Host did)

This resolved the Add-ons not starting after restore. Many thanks for all of the suggestions!!

Not sure why this option is hidden under 2000 clicks, took me 10 minutes to find a simple reboot, but there we are, better option to just tanking the power to RPi.

Thank you!
I just restored from backup and had the add on issue. Power cycling fixed it.

Z wave network is incredibly slow but I am hoping a heal + waiting overnight will improve things

Absolutely, it worked for me. :slight_smile:

Can confirm, was in the same boat.
Migrated from RPi3 to RPi4 and did a full restore - add ons showed they were working in the logs but would not actually turn on.

Instead of wiping everything and going through the restore process with partial backups, I just did a hard restart (not through UI) and everything was back!

Thanks for the great advice everyone who suggested it!

When in doubt… Turn it off and back on again…

This worked for me too. Thanks.

Simply reboot the os solve the problem

This worked for me too. Obviously there is some difference between a soft restart and a complete hardware restart.

Restart only restarts the HA container.

Host reboot pulls everything down, reboots and loads everything up.

Ok, thanks for making that distinction clear.

I eneded up here because I googled “home assistant restore addons greyed out”

Even with the latest 2022.12.0 this is still an issue

I went from Pi4 to a NUC - a hard reboot cured most of the issue but the File Editor and Home Assistant Google drive backup were still grey and the HACS icon was missing

I removed File Editor and added Studio code server and all returned to normal
