unable to create a project azure devops 2019 on premises

Question

I have azure DevOps server on premises, and I want to create a new project but I can't. even though I'm using the admin account. I can create new collection, but I can't create new projects, here's the log when I check it

Looks like you need to make sure AzureJobAgent in Services is running. Mine was set to Manual. Set it to Automatic and it should start when needed.
