Windows Jellyfin Server 10.10.3 no longer installing as a service? - Subculture - 2025-01-20
I just upgraded my Jellyfin Server on Windows 11.
Previously I've been running it "as a Service", but the 10.10.3 installer looks like it found my previous install (which was running as a service), removed the service, and is now just running a background exe from my user account.
Is this correct? I couldn't find any reference in the changelogs, but maybe I missed it.
Edit, just in case anyone runs across this thread:
I had to completely remove Jellyfin from the system for the installer to give me the option of installing as a service again. I backed up the Jellyfin folder in ProgramData before doing it and simply swapped that data back in after the clean install.

To my knowledge there has been no change to how Jellyfin can be installed on Windows.

You may have selected the basic install when upgrading.

It didn't give me that option, though I have seen that option before. I even re-ran the installer and it just gives a message that it found an existing install and will upgrade it, but no option to choose the basic vs service.
