Patch Tuesday .Net KB5032007

[macoirc]

I came here to ask a question about an error I was having getting Jellyfin to start. I since got it working but I thought posting about it here might help someone if they search for it. I hope that’s ok.

After yesterday’s Windows patches, which included an update to .Net Framework, my Jelyfin server wouldn’t start after reboot. The Windows event logs showed a .Net Runtime error 1026 which said:

Application: Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
  at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo)
  at Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.TrayApplicationContext..ctor()
  at Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.Program.Main()

There was also an error 1000 that said:

Faulting application name: Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe, version: 1.2.0.0, time stamp: 0xfa3bfbeb
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.22621.2715, time stamp: 0x10f6a783
Exception code: 0xe0434352
Fault offset: 0x000000000006565c
Faulting process id: 0x0x2764
Faulting application start time: 0x0x1DA17BBCB96CF06
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll


I was on 10.8.11 and as soon as I updated to 10.8.12 the errors went away. I don’t know if it was the updated code or simply the reinstall that fixed it, but it’s fixed!

Hey @macoirc

Thanks for the info i will look into that but i dont have lots of hope.
The error seems very generic and i cannot reproduce it. But good that it seems handled by the 10.8.12 update.

Hi, I ran into this same issue. Just commenting to +1.

Windows Server 2022
Jellyfin 10.8.13
November 2023 patches broke the Jellyfin installation. Nothing in the Jellyfin logs, but same Event Viewer messages as you.

Re-running the Jellyfin 10.8.13 installer on top of the existing installation fixed the problem immediately.
