[QNimbus]

I can confirm - I just installed HACS on a relatively fresh install of Home Assistant. I did take quite some time but after a while (I’m guessing 10 minutes or so) the Home Assistant is starting, not everything will be available until it is finished message disappeared. I did not have to restart Home Assistant manually in the meantime. Hope this feedback helps with this issue.

@ascillato You get this if you tried HACS in the past and there are still data files with the old format, of your data files are corrupt.

Delete all files containing hacs under .storage and restart Home Assistant to solve it.

@LEJOUI I run both dev and beta versions of Home Assistant, both works as it should with current version of HACS.
