TL;DR I was in a sleep deprived state. Accidently updated ComfyUI and now its giving me errors. Can't generate till I reinstall. Generations/content from me is on pause but I might dig into my unleased folder and post some stuff.
So...I came home after a long shift at work. Boot up ComfyUI to generate something I had in mind all week. Also tried to test a new workflow but the thing said I needed an update to my ComfyUI. Under my tried and sleep deprived state, I just said "yeah, install everything you need" knowing this is the SAME situation I got myself into the last time this happened. ComfyUI gets bricked. Can't start it. Can't update it.
My plan is to reinstall it, install all the quality of life addons and move the checkpoints/lora/the stuff that needs to get it working over from the old folder (is this even possible?). I hate not knowing how to troubleshoot these things because I'm not a coder. All I have to go by is some 1k views Youtube tutorial or a long masters thesis reading.
Until then, I will be pausing my generations. I have no ETA when I can get it back up and running again. The last time this happened last year, I think I just gave up after a week and came back in like 2 month after some more time reading guides on how to setup everything and the need to goon to content I made. I have learned much more since then but that just means I have to reinstall this quick or else my knowledge and drive to do this, just fades away over time.
Thank you for understanding,

Also, if anyone knows how to transfer the old models folder to the new install, let me know. Yes, it might just be copy and paste but I hope it to also keep the meta data from Lora Manager. Any technical or advanced ComfyUI users that wants to help me or even chit chat about ComfyUI is appreciated. I wanna know some ComfyUI knowledge. I promise to won't be that guy asking hundreds of questions until the problem is resolved.
Will delete this article when I am done installing and making ComfyUI feel like I had before. Any updates will be in comments.
