Cannot Start Jellyfin Error - StarrySky_190116 - 2025-06-07

Hello,

I hope to be able to find some help on how to fix my problem. When I try to start up my server from my pc, I get a pop up, as pictured, stating that it, "could not start Jellyfin server process after the specified wait period. 
I have shared a picture of my server logs. 

running jellyfin 10.10.7 since 4/17/2025
pc specs:
windows 11 pro
i5-10400 CPU
Quadro P620 GPU


I am not really tech savvy, so any advice would be appreciated. 

TIA.

Stop the server:

In this folder:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\jellyfin\config

Move the migrations.xml to your desktop or rename it to migrations.xml.bak

Then open system.xml and change 
Code:
<IsStartupWizardCompleted>true</IsStartupWizardCompleted>
to 
Code:
<IsStartupWizardCompleted>false</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

Restart the server. Once the server is working again, change the startup wizard value back to true.
