Home Assistant failing all over the place

This is a bit vague because its so odd.

But i updated to the latest and greatest yesterday. all fine. today i was playing about and rebooted and voila it took forever, barely any integrations loaded.

I’ve restored from a Veeam backup so my VM is just as it was 3 days ago at this point… still doing the same. i’ve no idea how on earth thats possible

Have you checked the logs yet?

I am noticing the same thing. In my case, I was going to restart home assistant because some of my hacs custom components were updated. At the same time, I noticed that there was an update from 2023.8 to 2023.8.1. I haven’t ever had a problem in 4+ years updating a patch release, so I added that along for the ride and my home assistant has been stuck loading integrations post restart.

There is nothing of interest in the logs, just every integration is taking it’s time to load. After about 30 minutes, I still have 14-15 of them to go.
