Error 50 when openning Windows 11 Music app. Your Library Could Not Be Opened

When opening the Windows 11 Music app it crashes immediately so i cannot change the library location. I believe the library was on a removable drive and was loaded with it disconnected. I reinstalled the software, rebooted many times but nothing has helped. Ready to give up soon. Can anyone help ASAP?

Windows, Windows 10

Delete from Library - An unknown error has occurred Using Apple Music for Windows. When selecting a song in a playlist and pressing delete I'm getting an error pop up at the bottom of the screen: "Delete from Library - An unknown error has occurred." They stack if I try again. There doesn't seem to be a remove from playlist in the right-click context menu (unlike on the iPhone Music app) so the delete key is the only way I can think of to try and remove them. When I use the 'Remove from playlist' option via iPhone Music app it successfully removes the song so I can only assume this is a bug in the Windows Apple Music app. Any advice on how I can actually remove something from my playlist via the Windows app?

Unknown Error - Try Again when Clicking Home in Apple Music on Windows I can open Apple Music on my Windows 11 laptop, can view songs, playlists, etc, but if I click on Home, I get "An unknown error has occurred. Try again" Clicking Try Again just gives the error again. I've restarted the app, restarted the computer, tried with VPN on and off, nothing has helped. What causes this error and how can it be resolved? There's no error code, so no good way to research it.

Apple Music Preview on Windows 11 refuses to load Earlier this month my Apple Music Preview app on windows 11 just out of nowhere crashed and ever since then it just gets stuck in an endless load on every page. It also endlessly loads 'updating genius' in the bottom left corner. I can still play the songs that were in my queue at the time it crashed, but that's it. When I try to go to a playlist that the song is from, it doesn't show anything. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, signing in and out, removing itunes from my computer, etc. and nothing has fixed the issue. I haven't been able to find anyone else talking about this online so if anyone has a fix that would be greatly appreciated.
