The issues with playback appear to be ffmpeg related as well. It is trying to do something with ffmpeg when you start a video. It may be trying to transcode, remux, or extract subtitles and fails. Because ffmpeg isn't present.
Try reinstalling and make sure to right click on the installer and "Run as administrator". Most users don't have to do that but, for whatever stupid Windows jank reason, some users do.
It was run as admin to install. Also, as I edited my last post, I set permissions to full access to all users.
Also, ffmpeg (and ffprobe) was installed by Jellyfin and are very much in the folder.
