    Since I swapped my gpu (from an rx 580 to an rx 7600) jellyfin simply won't start. Whenever I try to start it from the tray app or .exe file (even as administrator) it just refuses to fire up and the message "could not start jellyfin process after specified wait period" pops up.
    I already tried deleting the .xml files from the ProgramData/Jellyfin/Server/config folder but it still won't work. I also tried updating jellifin itself and clearing browser cache. I use Windows 11 and microsoft edge.
    Any help would really be appreciated.

    Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

    Your log shows that your data path is
    Code:
    C:\Users\micvf\AppData\Local\Jellyfin
    not
    Code:
    ProgramData/Jellyfin/Server/
     
    The ProgramData directory is used when the app is launched from the system tray, while the local directory is used when running the Jellyfin.exe directly, not from the tray.

    Rename the migrations.xml to  migrations.xml.bak and and set the following to false in the system.xml file:
     
    Code:
    <IsStartupWizardCompleted>true</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

    Make sure you’re modifying the folder your server is using:
    Code:
    C:\Users\ micvf \AppData\Local\jellyfin\config

    Tysm, it now works perfectly. I did what you said in the C:\Users\ micvf \AppData\Local\jellyfin\config folder. I first tried in the other folder and it didn't work.
