7241 isn’t that a network issue? I do recall at my old work from time to time that using the smtpemail.p script would go into an endless loop which caused this issue as well. Unfortunately I never got to the bottom of it. It happened only a couple of times.
I’m not 100% but it may had something to do with windows updates.
Reason I say that is server took about 25 mins to restart when normally it’s half that time.
