    I have recently switched from Emby to Jellyfin.

    Emby used to load as soon as the server (which is a standard Windows 11 PC, in my case) was turned on and was on the login screen.

    Currently, Jellyfin is only loading once I log in.

    Is this solvable?

    I did try installing Jellyfin initially as a service (via the installer) but then I could not find the UI or the system tray icon to configure the program. These appeared when I installed as a normal install.

    I run Jellyfin as a service just in case the server reboots without my knowledge (Go Windows!)...this way it will be running even though I'm technically still at the login prompt.  To administer the server just punch in the IP & Port of the computer running Jellyfin server and you'll land right on the Dashboard where all of the Server settings reside.

    Here is a screenshot of mine accessed through Google Chrome.

    I need the UI and system tray icon, but I also want it to start during boot (I believe a service?).
