Make sure your browser cache is cleared.
Try running
ha supervisor info
Which will tell you the status of each addon. It can be quite long so you may want to run it through a pager

Finaly, after deleting the database file v2.db, everythingis working
EDIT Do not delete your database. Simply reboot your machine (not HA, the whole thing.)
Go here 
and reboot from the overflow menu (the three vertical dots in the top right).
(Edit 5.2.23) Some people seem to have needed to power down/up as well.
Deleting your dB makes no sense, but glad you got it fixed.

Hi I got the " same issue" , nothing helped, did all of the above (press start over and over again, reinstalled an add-on didn’t solve the problem) but I can’t find the database file? Excuse me for asking, but where is it located?
It is in the config folder. You have to use a file editor or samba share or similar to find it
The file is named home-assistant_v2.db
Hi, thx!
I don’t see home-assistant_v2.db in the config folder (see picture). I can’t execute Terminal, of Studio Code Server. (error message “Add-on is not running. Please start it first”). So I’m kind of stuck, see no other options.
I can’t tell if the whole directory is shown. Is ssh working?
Are you using some other recorder integration? Mysql or something? Or possibly disabled recorder altogether?
Anyway, the database is not the actual issue.
I am another one that is having this issue everything is working but not addons

All these people having problems with addons, and yet no one has logs. Weird.

I have also a similar situation. After restoring a full backup from 2 days old I ran in to the issue that the new installed add-ons on the restored system are not working. The add-ons that came with the restore are working fine.
Example: After the full restore I installed the add-on “Home Assistant Google Drive Backup”. The installation goes fine but then it doesn’t fully start. At least from the GUI it looks like that. The add-on GUI gives the red dott (add-on not started) also when clicking on the Icon on the sidebar it says “Add-on is not running. Please start it first” but according to the log it’s running:
08-15 23:22:57 INFO Starting server on port 8099
08-15 23:22:57 INFO Server started
08-15 23:22:57 INFO Syncing Backups
So the GUI is not in line with what is is actually happening on the background.
BTW, the workaround with removing the database file did not help for me
I upgraded to to core version 2022.8.5 and this made no difference for me. The add-ons are running, but I keep getting the error message " add-on is not running. Please start it first" .
No logs = no issue.
Hi Nick, which log would you like to see? In my last comment I put the add-on log but that just says that the service is started. I just started with Home-assistant so not so familiar with the logs yet.
