I checked my logs from this morning where I manually added an episode to a library with trickplay set to start with library scan. In my logs I first got a message that the folder where the new media was added "will be refreshed", followed by several lines about the status of trickplay images being generated for the media item I added. Can you double check that both "Extract trickplay when libary is scanned" and "Enable realtime monitoring" is checked? Make sure to click the "Ok" button after you check them.
I'm on Linux, not Win, and realtime monitoring is reliant on the OS. Are you running docker? Is your media stored on a local filesystem, or network shares? Real time monitoring is not supported for SMB or NFS. Is there anything unusual about how the storage is mounted where you have your media? Also look in your Jellyfin logs for any messages about a failure in the directory watcher. This is a case where the message could be OS specific, so I can't provide the exact message that may be generated. This message would most likely be near when the jellyfin server service is started, not when you added media to your library.
