<p>Good afternoon Nigel</p>
<p>I also have these issues at times where it tries to load something and takes a very long time, sometimes bombing the application. It seems to, at times, get confused. What I have found sometimes alleviates the issue is to simply open another QGIS application instance and attempt to open the same project.</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Not sure if this is the correct place for this kind of query - sorry if it is not!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm using QGIS 3.34.7-Prizren and have a multi-layered project I regularly use. It includes locally saved layers of various types and quite a few web provided layers such as ArcGIS REST, WFS, WMS, WCS, etc. On reopening the project several of these web provided layers show on the 'Handle Unavailable Layers' pop up and are unavailable in the project. It is random which ones each time. Sometimes they are stubbornly difficult to restore (reconnect/repair data source). There is nothing wrong with the source of these layers. Do you know why this is and can you suggest a solution?</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
