Server won't start - Mombius_Hibachi - 2025-12-07

Hi, I'm not sure what my issue is exactly, so haven't searched the forum. Since yesterday, my Jellyfin server won't connect.
  • The version of Jellyfin you are running (e.g. 10.8.10)
    10.11.4
  • Your installation method and platform (e.g. Linux Docker, Debian repository, Windows installer, etc.)
    Windows installer
  • A brief description of the issue as your thread subject, using the description for additional important context only if required
    When I try to open the server, I get an error (see screenshot).
  • A full explanation of what is happening, versus what you expect to happen
    The server doesn't start (either at startup or when I try to start it manually). 
  • What client(s) you are using and how the issue manifests
    I am running Windows 11
  • Any other context you might think is relevant
    Been using Jellyfin for quite some time now (12+ months) with no issues.  Happy to post a log; I just need someone to point me to the right file, as I am not very familiar with this sort of thing.
Thanks in advance!

I tried starting Jellyfin again today (just to see if it would work) and got a pop up pointing to the Server Log, so I am pasting it here.
