Recent update for Windows results in Wizard for new install

[kaledi 41]

Morning, I came down to my computer this morning, fired up a connection to Emby library via a web browser and was taken to the installation wizard to set up a new server.  This is for a local installation of the server on the same computer (Windows 11) I was using the browser on.  The PC had not rebooted overnight, and the library and server were fine as of last night.  The local server is allowed to auto update versions of emby.  I had to go to work, so haven't done any digging, but is there a known issue with this latest update wiping an existing server, or not picking up the settings?

Fortunately, this isn't my main Emby server but will be a real inconvenience if I have to rebuild it.  Any thoughts

Really depends on what got corrupted as you could just step through the wizard with relatively no setting loss.

Also do you use the backup plugin?  If so you should be able to just restore the last backup.

I do on my NAS, but not sure if I set up on the Windows installation.  This will be something I will at later.  The PC is backed up to my Synology NAS, so hopefully I can pull a back up from there if necessary.  Regardless, seems very strange what has happened.

The likely scenario is that the server xml config file got corrupted somehow. Luckily this doesn't store that many options, so if this is only thing that got corrupted, then you could just step through the wizard and then give all other settings a quick glance over.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up recovering the installation folder from a pc back and then manually updated emby server and this solved the issue and I'm now back up and running.
