Hi there, I was having a requirement to create SharePoint 2013 approval workflow using 2010 template. workflow was attached to content type. Issue I was facing, while going to start the workflow it gives error of " The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service.

Paste following commands in SharePoint management shell: $serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State Service" New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "StateServiceDatabase" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "State Service" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup And now again I tried to start the workflow, and it started successfully!

Today while trying to publish the workflow, came across the weird error "Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot run." After digging into it, came to the solution that need to    Re-register service into my site using   following commands: Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite 'https://my-host/mysite' -WorkflowHostUri 'https://workflowhost' -AllowOAuthHttp -Force I reopened SharePoint Designer again and problem disappeared. Hope this will save your time.
