Hi Jon,
It seems this issue isn’t entirely clear to me. I’ve seen the start-up process pause (using Task Manager, which is the only tool I have with my main account), and there was no way to restart it. I stopped it and tried restarting the machine, but I’ll let you know if I get any results. Thanks, Carl!
