If you open a command line, navigate to the C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server directory (or wherever it's installed on your machine) and type embyserver.exe, what error message do you get?  Do you get an entry in the Windows Event Log?

Okay. I as you pointed out. It did create a event log within emby-server-programdata-logs.

Is EMBY SERVER showing running in TaskManager.

If not, you need to start it.

It should be located at C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server 

 

If you start it, try to connect, and still can't; grab the new log file (it will have overwritten the previous embyserver.txt file you grabbed earlier) and post it here again.

Hmm that's odd.

Can you show a screenshot?

Need more info to help.

What happened when it stopped working? ( Windows update? install software? VPN install? ) any detail is not too small.)

Every thing, does not come out of nothing.

No VPN is connected. Windows, Google functions normal. No, no updates.

Emby tray is not emby server. (it's a sub process, but not the server itself)

So the answer is NO emby server is not running.

Start it, try to connect, then post the new log file.

I can not start the server because I can not get to the server. The server says it can not load.

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

YOU DO NOT START A SERVER VIA A WEB BROWSER 

Open the damn folder you've been given and run the exe file inside like every other program you start on a computer, and like you've been told to multiple times now.

Then follow the rest of the instructions and post the god damn log file. Why are you not following instructions????

We cannot help you if you're not going to read or follow the directions you're given.

By the way you can get log files directly from the server logs folder:

That would be extremely helpful. Most likely the issue is the plugins that you are running. I saw a similar report from a user yesterday and he resolved it either by removing or reconfiguring the plugins.

Refund him/her and move on? <sigh> Emby team should consider selling support tickets.

Dude, I don’t know if you’re trolling us all but you’ve got a lot of people who are trying to help you here.

No detail is too small and show us what IP address your browser is trying to connect to.

Back on page 2, OP did state he/she/it went into windows firewall and uncheck some things so thats another vector to consider.
