 * Hi Team,
 * I just updated to WooCommerce 4.0. After updating the plugin from WordPress’s
   plugin dashboard, I got a prompt “Database update” required which you usually
   get after updating WooCommerce. I clicked on “OK” and it is stuck for like hours.
   I went to Woocommerce > Status > Scheduled Actions to see what is remaining. 
   I saw a list of jobs that were pending. As I checked on lot of support topics
   that people who “run” each task manually, were able to complete the update. But
   in my case even after clicking on “run” nothing is happening. Here is the [Screenshot](https://imgur.com/PGhz1ne)
   
   I even tried deactivating all plugins and then clicked on “run” for each jobs
   but strangely none of the jobs are running. I also checked with the hosting company
   to check the WP Cron and it’s working fine from their side. I’m not sure what
   to do next. Can you guys please suggest me anything else?

 * I have also come across this just now, finding no consistent reason for it.

 * Okay, ignore my comment. There was a password protection on the domain, and hence
   the actions could not be run. my bad:
