This looks familiar. I believe the trust store was corrupted. You should be able to follow the steps below to get back into a working state. 1. Navigate to the `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\runtime\jre-win\lib\security` directory. 2. Make a copy of the cacerts and cacerts.bak files and place in another directory. (They shouldn't be needed but I like to make copies before deleting files) 3. Delete the cacerts file from its original directory. 4. Re-name the cacerts.bak file to cacerts. 5. Use the stop-ignition.bat file to stop the Ignition service. 6. Use the start-ignition.bat file to start the Ignition service again. For steps 5 and 6, you can also stop/start the service from Windows Services. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/edge-gateway-fails-to-start/68848)._
