Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe Wont Start - Noah314 - 2023-10-30
Trying to get started with jellyfin. after I ran the installer Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe refuses to run, even when running as admin. the only solution I was able to find from the past was from 4 years ago and it recommended going to C
Windows/temp/.net but I was not able to find the .net folder. another response recommended going to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp“ but I still was not able to find the .net folder. Im on windows 11. any assistance would be appreciated

When you ran the installer, did you run it as admin? You should run it as yourself. Uninstall, run the installer WITHOUT selecting to run as admin, select basic install.

I only tried to run Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe as admin because trying to run like normal wasnt working. Ive also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still nothing

C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\Logs
Are there any log files in there?

this may sound like a dumb question, but we have to start somewhere
have you restarted your PC?
also, nothing happens when you run the .exe, the program launches in the background.
you have to go to localhost:8096 in a browser to access jellyfin. so its possilbe it running and you dont think it is if you havent tested that.
