Please describe your bug

Did a pre-boot check for Jellyfin and made a couple of discoveries.

  1. One of the drives for which I had assigned a sequential letter had reverted to a Windows choice.
  2. The executable, 'Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe'm had disappeared.
    Is there a condition under which Jellyfin deletes the exec?
    I checked Windows Virus mechanism and there's no indication of any perceived threat.
    I keep most security mechanisms turned off.
    Version 10.8.0
    Can I re-install without losing data?
    I'm trying a simple drop-in of the executable.

Jellyfin does not delete the the tray app.
It is a direct install / upgrade by running the new installer

I copied files from a download into the Server directory and got things running. Have know idea why the file was deleted or by whom. I also noticed all execs had been deleted, not just the tray app.
