I experienced the same not too long ago. This turned out to be the issue for me:

    Hi Kevin.

     

    Many thanks for the suggestion. It didn't work for me unfortunately, but I did manage to fix the problem around 2 mins ago!

     

    I don't know why, but reverting to the self signed certificate (from a previously added CA signed cert) using the snapshot is what caused the problem. I managed to add a completely new signed certificate (different Root CA also) and everything is working as it should be. The boot time and going from offline to active is also a little bit quicker.

     

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the update and glad you got this fixed. I'm not sure what happened there. Will definitely keep an eye out for similar issue going forward.
