The Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC) and hub are not accessible, and the Qlik Sense Repository Windows Service is automatically stopped after an attempted start.

In this scenario, no changes or upgrades were performed and all other Qlik Sense Windows services continue to run as normal.

To troubleshoot and identify the issue, review the Qlik Sense System Repository Trace logs (How To Collect Log Files From Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows). Look for:

Could not open file «base/16384/20731»: No such file or directory↵↓An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

Stopping Engine logging pipe

Engine logging pipe server already stopped

Instances cannot be resolved and nested lifetimes cannot be created from this LifetimeScope as it has already been disposed.

«base/16384/20731» can be any file in "PostgreSQL DB" folder that is missing/deleted. The base folder can be found in "C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\PostgreSQL\X.X\" where "X.X" is the Postgres Database version.
