Bitcoin Core - Stopping this may take awhile

Yesterday I updated Bitcoin Core on my Start9 Server Pure to 26.0.0~1. That was quick and seemed to go fine but then Bitcoin Core did not start back up as it said it needed to be config’d. I went into the config and completed a few items and hit done or save or whatever. From there it now says “STATUS Stopping this may take awhile…” It’s been maybe 20 hours or so. Anyone know how long I should expect this to take? Should I just keep waiting or restart it?

Restart it, several threads going around with that information, you wont hurt anything.
And welcome to the Forum!!

Thanks and sorry I didn’t see a thread mentioning “Stopping this may take awhile…”

Restarting worked. I’m back up-and-running. Thanks again.
