Hi @Peter_Kustermann ,
First thing to try is rebooting the machine that the Roon Core is running on, that can often help.
Metadata improver halted
Suggest that a Roon is unable to connect Roon cloud services, so this might also be related to a firewall or networking issue.
So again it’s worth rebooting any network equipment, and also try temporarily switching of any firewalls.
Please read this topic, just maybe it can help you.
Did you perhaps add some albums from Tidal or Qobuz to your library recently?
I had the same issue yesterday, whilst Roon was suffering from the Google Cloud Services downtime.
I had added 3 albums in Qobuz. All 3 were added but only album title was specified ( no cover, unidentified).

The only thing that seems to work to fix this permantanlty is to delete Roons cache folder. Locate the folder for your specific operating system.

I have given this advise to most users having this issue and it works. A reboot might clear it to but it often returns after some time.
