Emby Server 4.10.0.40, acts like it's a new install?

[Lane03 16]

Not sure when this happened, but I do see a  new version was released and looking at my Emby-Server\Updates folder, it looks like my Emby server auto-upgraded to this version last night. I can access Emby just fine using my Android and Roku apps, but when I attempt to do so on the Emby Server (Windows 11), it takes me to the new setup wizard as if it's a new installation. Both Emby Server and Windows 11 are set to auto-update and this is the only user account on this machine. Emby is NOT running as a service. Any help would be appreciated, as I don't want to have to set this up from scratch as I've been running this for 10+ years now and that would be a pretty big pain lol.

EDIT: Was able to get the server paths from the Android Emby app, all the paths are correct.

Hi.  Exactly how are you doing that?

What happens if you use a browser on a different machine?

Hm, something might have triggered StartupWizard flag reset.

You can try shutting down your server, go to "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config" folder and edit system.xml file, change tag:

<IsStartupWizardCompleted>false</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

to

<IsStartupWizardCompleted>true</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

Save edited file, restart server.

Hi ebr. I'm right clicking on the emby icon in the task bar and selecting (browse library). The path it takes me to is http://localhost:8096/web/index.html which is auto redirected to http://localhost:8096/web/index.html?start=wizard#!/wizard/wizardstart.html.

Going to http://192.168.1.105:8096/web/index.html (ip address of the Emby server) on another computer also brings me to the "welcome to emby setup wizard"

I don't have a programdata folder. My explorer view shows all hidden and system files btw.

@LukeHow did all folders ended up nested under main server folder?

It is either a really old install/incremental update or something has got amiss there in the update process; anyway (as your server seems to be running as it's accessible from other devices), do you have system.xml there under \config subfolder?

Yeah, what version were you running before...?

You rock! system.xml was under the \config subfolder. I changed the flag from false to true and looks good now!

4.9.5.0. But my initial install was over 10 years ago.
