We tried to upgrade for 09.01.00 to the lastest version available and in the middle of the installation failed, and has never fully worked the same.
Here's a copy of today's log

I think your best option is to restore a backup and try again. It is advisable to uninstall all extensions you don't use any more and follow this path:
https://docs.dnncommunity...rade-path/index.html
the weird thing this is an App Service on Azure, I restored the backup as soon as everything failed and restored the database too thats the bizzare thing and nothing got properly fixed! but I'll trythe upgrade path and see if that fixes some of our issues.
Hmm, right that's weird..
I would also suggest performing a stability check on the site after you restore it again, and before the next upgrade. You'll want to be sure to run a virus scan, look for any unexpected files, edited core code files, etc.
Also, I've covered a lot of the methods we use to avoid these kinds of issues in the presentation below.
