I have no way to confirm this, but I suspect that this month's windows update broke something. The way a lot of people resolved this is to go into the Jellyfin Program Files folder and set the jellyfin executable to always run as admin. Or right click on it and run as admin.
All your databases, config, and cache should have been in C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin. I've never tried this (on Windows or Linux), but it should have been as simple as restoring that directory.
Appreciate the response. I further complicated things by having Jellyfin run off of an external hard drive, which has created some interesting results. I believe I sort of have two servers, one running off of the C drive and another on the hard drive, yet Jellyfin is not installed on the C drive- despite there being some remnants of files there. Running the executable shows multiple errors, the biggest one being an incorrect port bind of the blank IP. It's also pulling from both the hard drive and C drive for data.
I copied the old config file into the C drive and the executable no longer shows errors, but I still don't have my old profile. I think somewhere along the way I managed to delete those files, as unfortunate as it is. I've tried directing it to the files in both drives but I get the same result each time. It's possible that the data is still there, and I'll keep messing around with it, but I guess as long as it's running...
