The web app used to work fine last month. Not it doesn't seem to be running and I get a "Failed to start web app" error. How do I even start to figure out why it fails? The "Help me troubleshoot" button takes forever just to show some AI generated nonsense that is not at all helpful.

Ensure all Application Settings, Connection Strings, and configuration settings are correct, and verify that any recent changes (environment variables etc) haven't caused the app to fail.
Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve intermittent issues. Restart your Azure Web App and check if it starts up correctly.
