Hi @ComputerHabit ,

1.How did you configure it on your server? I find an article which describes in detail about installing and configuring Workflow Manager in SharePoint 2016 / 2019: https://spgeeks.devoworx.com/configure-workflow-manager-sharepoint-2016/

You could refer to this article and check whether you have missed some important steps or preparations are not done well step by step. Hope it could help you.

2.Please check whether the Service Bus ports are used with other web applications or blocked by firewall mentioned at following article:

3.Please check this article:Solving: Service Bus Message Broker Stuck on Starting

Hope the information can help you.

Hi @ComputerHabit ,

Great to know that and thanks for sharing the update here.

By the way, since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others.". and according to the scenario introduced here: Answering your own questions on Microsoft Q&A, I would make a brief summary of this thread:

[New Workflow Manager will not install. Stuck at Service Bus services starting]

Issue Symptom:

I have been trying to get Workflow Manger to install. I have a new server with a new install of Workflow Manager. It will not setup. It is stuck at "Service Bus services starting."

Current status:

In all the articles I never see to add the service account as admin on the server. This and the suggested reg changes for TLS are what resolves it.
