Bitbucket Server 7.13.0 for Windows Won't Start

[Jon]

After upgrading to 7.13.0, I am having issues getting Bitbucket to fully start.  Here are some details:

• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Running as a Windows Service
• JRE_HOME set to AdoptOpenJDK 8's JRE folder  (I have also tried Oracle SE JDK 8 and 11, as well as a bundled JRE of AdoptOpenJDK OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_275-b01)
• Java VM set to corresponding version of the JRE
• The Windows service starts and continues to run, no Event Viewer logs showing any errors.

The issue was solved by copying the bitbucket.properties file from the previous bitbucket home location to the /shared folder.
