    I’m afraid the diagnosis isn’t good. You may wish to take seat.

    Now before I begin, I want to reassure you that despite this being really serious, it’s not incurable.

    Unfortunately, you’ve got a clear case of Microsoft Windows. Many people do manage to live long and fulfilling lives with Microsoft Windows however the good news is there is a cure available, if you wish to undergo treatment.

    If you want more information on the available treatments then there’s a pamphlet available here.

    Tap for spoiler

    Unfortunately apart from being a cheeky lil shit I have no other information to help you, sorry. Good luck and may this comment give your post a lil bump up the feed!

    The previous comment is right. You do have a terrible case of a Windows install. I’m so sorry.

    Also, it looks like you may have a JellyFin launcher still installed, looking for (uninstalled) Jellyfin when the computer starts up.

    When I’ve had a similar combination of issues, I did the following, in order:

    1. Click the Start Menu
    2. Search for “Start Up” or “autostart”
    3. Explore the settings panels that come up.
    4. Find and remove the offending app - in his case JellyFin.
    5. Backup all of my files and then install Linux Mint

    Step 5 is optional, but highly recommended.

    Good luck!

      Wait sorry that was confusing, are you saying I might have a double installation happening? Or rather that jellyfin is pointing to an old install?

      edit: well would ya look at that

    I don’t remember how Jellyfin installs on Windows nowadays but if it’s just the Jellyfin tray icon executable giving you issues maybe a simple fix is just to remove it from being autostarted? This is assuming the rest of Jellyfin starts up fine without needing that tray icon in the Windows taskbar.

    If that doesn’t help it might be that .NET is broken on your system. That’s a lot harder to fix unfortunately… you could try to see if the Windows add/remove programs gives you an option to re-install/fix the current .net installation but that may not help you out much.

    You could also check that your Windows system files aren’t themselves broken. Google around for running SFC and DISM, offhand I typically do something like (in an elevated cmd.exe window):

    sfc /verifyonly

    if the above tells you there are system files to fix run

    sfc /scannow

    Restart the computer, repeat the above until sfc tells you there’s nothing to fix.

    Then run

    dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

    if the above tells you there are files to fix run

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Restart the computer, repeat the above until dism tells you there’s nothing to fix.

    If none of the above fixed anything then it may be time to consider reformatting and re-installing Windows fresh.

    (at home I’m on Linux myself but still support Windows systems at work every day)

    Just going off tech support knowledge:

    It’s a configuration parser error, according to the error window title bar. I’d start there. I would expect there’s something messed up with your configuration(s). Maybe back them up and reset to default, see if that stops it.

    Given that the error is triggering in a .Net library, a repair/reinstall of those wouldn’t hurt either, but it probably won’t fix your issue.
