SharePoint Workflow Status Stuck in 'Starting'

Copper Contributor
I use SharePoint 2016 and use SharePoint Designer 2013 for the workflow. I have a site that I use in the office. I have 2 custom lists with separate workflows. I have created conditions that triggers an auto email but it has been 3 days that whenever we upload a new item, the status is stuck in 'starting' and never changes.

Hello Dann1ca3,
First of all, what kind of workflow is it? the old model(2010) or the new which resides in a seperate application pool?

Have you setup the Workflow Manager, in case of the new workflow applications?

Have you checked the logs with ULS Log viewer?
