Dear Support,
We have a problem:
Builds job are scheduled and started, but worker is not starting again and again. The same situation if there is only one build in a queue:

2026-01-14 17:05:48.649
Warning
Worker 6a5fe24c9b4a44d683a4cb836b605f70 has not started the job - switching to failover cloud

Best regards,
Oleg Sharuda

    Hi Oleg,

    We are having problem with Ubuntu1804 and 1604 images as they don't work with newer certificate roots. Please switch your builds to Ubuntu (which is 22.04) image.
