SharePoint workflow stuck on starting

Question

I've had SharePoint 2013 Server running SharePoint 2010 workflow for quite sometime now working stuck on starting ( on change event ) but work in manual trigger.

Hi @Alice01 ,

Is there anything has been changed before the issue occurs?

You could try the following steps:

1.Remove the checkout required from the library. However this isn’t the best solution because there is likely business reasons why you needed it enabled in the first place.

2.Add a step in the workflow to check out the document before you do anything and in the final step (no matter the outcome of the workflow) check it back in.
