C9300 stack - Startup Config not loading when reboot.

[Keshan9968]

I have four C9300-48P stacked switches; whenever the switch reboots, it's not loading from the startup-config. All the time, I have to do #copy startup-config running-config. And it's not showing the config register value when I enter the #sh version.
What would be the solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Here is the reason why.  

The fix is just as simple:

conf t
 NO system ignore startupconfig switch all
end

I got the same issue with four C9300 stack switches. Whenever it reboots, it doesn't load from startup-config, and I'm unable to see the config-register value with the #sh ver command. What would be the solution for this?
