I'll try the sc.exe create and see if that works. I did use that to create a service for caddy and that worked flawlessly.

I believe they want to install/run Jellyfin with the "as server" option not take any program and make it a service.
You have to do some work on paths in the database, etc. Here is one post about it Any chance convert Windows Local Server to Jellyfin as a Service? There maybe others if you do a good search of the forum.
I want Jellyfin to start upon computer startup, and not require hands-on logging into a user account. I have done a thorough search and all I found was the thread you posted, which recommends either tedious, technical database changes (I'm not ready/confident enough for this option) or using task scheduler, which did not work for me same as the author of that thread.
