When I Pause during a workout, how do I restart from the point I paused at?
If you paused using the companion app, the pause button turns into a play button while paused. Simply tap on the play button to resume.

I was doing a workout after the most recent update to Zwift using an Apple laptop and when I paused the workout (clicking on the screen caused the row of blue symbols to appear at the bottom of the screen of which one was ‘pause’) and then when I went to restart it was impossible to get these controls to appear again and there didn’t seem to appear to be any other way to resume the workout. You could still click on the ‘menu’ (orange tile in bottom left) but only viable option was to go ‘back’. Cycling up to speed didn’t cause the workout to resume or get the familiar phrase pop-up telling you to increase resistance to re-engage ERG mode, etc. New update appears to have a flaw. Usually, I have the companion app on my phone running at the same time so assume I could have done it via that, but seems silly not to be able to do it via the laptop. I’ve done hundreds of workouts on Zwift and this it’s the first time I’ve encountered this problem.

there is no play button to restart for me either. I rebooted Mac. An almost done with using Zwift. It does not work well. it takes me 20 mins. to find a workout and it too hard to turn over pedals.

No it does not. There are limited options. 1 being to change your profile the other to change the challenge. Thats all. I have tried exiting and then starting a different ride but the same problem, I start by being paused and cannot unpause.
As you may not get a reply from Aaron 3 years down the line, I’ll quickly.point out that he was talking about pausing a workout using the Companion App, and what you would expect to see in that App.
By the sounds of it, you’re talking about the Zwift in-game pause screen.
Hi I get on my trainer but cannot get the program to unpause no matter which ride I chose. It always shows pause and I cannot find a way to unpause it.
I just started the app and went into a ride that I am pretty sure I have never been on before and this is the result. I cannot get it to unpause.

Welcome to this forum and I’m sorry that you are having issues.
Firstly may I suggest you go back into your last post and delete (use the pencil edit ability at the bottom of your post) all of your personal/company details.
I’m not very technically minded but an observation which might help you and if not it might help others point you in the right direction.
The screenshot you have provided is not your main account where I can see (via CA activity) that you have completed 15 miles.
This suggests to me that you may have inadvertently set up two new accounts, possibly never logged out correctly from this account and for some reason having logged in and successfully ridden on your main account the system has reverted to looking at this unused account.
My only suggestion is at the very first log in screen you will see a Change User option. Try the change user option and see if you can log into your main account. I don’t think Zwift allows multiple accounts using same password so possibly if you used same email for both you may have changed majorly or in a minor way (dropping or adding a Capitalisation for example) your password.
Edit: a second thought - do you use more than one device to run Zwift. If so open Zwift on your other device and see if there is any difference.
Hope this helps, if not others may have some suggestions.
