Hi again Mack, good to hear you're getting closer to the root cause.
Please view this thread on advice on going from 7.8.x to 7.9.x and beyond;
I did 7.8.4 to 7.9.12 in one step with no issues, however, all systems vary.
Ignition 7.9.10(+) uses an embedded Java 9 JRE for Vision client.
7.9.10 wasn't available in 2016, from memory it was circa 2018.
