Hi eflinger

It's an known issue that started coming up with Azure DevOps 2019.

Usually it has to do with the antivirus, but in your situation you can try the following solutions:

1. Patch the server to the latest version https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/release-notes/azuredevops2020u1?view=azure-devops#azure-devops-server-2020-update-12-patch-10-release-date-november-14-2023

2. Or add more memory to the server

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

You say the symptom appears during the work day. If you have everything installed on a single server, SQL, and Azure DevOps its likely the system doesn't have enough CPU or memory to handle the user load. IIS can use a lot of CPU and memory and that can starve SQL. The opposite is also true, if SQL server becomes busy then IIS is starved for resources. Look at your performance data. Or scale out the environment.
