    Hi @DK ,

    Thank you for posting in this community.

    It sounds like you're experiencing issues with SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows after migrating from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2016. Here are a few steps and considerations that might help resolve the issue:

    1. Site URL Change: If the site URL has changed during the migration but the site ID remains the same, you will need to republish the workflow from the affected site using SharePoint Designer.
    2. Workflow Not Starting: If workflows do not start on the migrated site, try republishing the workflows from that site. Additionally, you can run the "Refresh Trusted Security Token Services Metadata feed" timer job to see if that resolves the issue.
    3. Workflow History and Logs: Check the workflow history and ULS logs for any specific error messages that might give more insight into why the workflow is failing. This can help pinpoint the exact issue.
