>> I installed adb yesterday and I can connect to the Firestick, no problem

I've seen this occur when two different versions of adb.exe are in use on the same machine. A version is running in memory causing conflicts ...

Sorry but I’m still not understanding what you are asking. If you are able to connect with adblink what is the question?

1. Attempt connection, then check your log for errors.
2. Close adbLink, then use task manager to kill any adb processes running.
3. Start adbLink
4. Press adbLink's console button:
From the adblink-launched command-line:
c:\> \path\to\adblink\adbfiles\adb connect <device-ip>
What errors?

Your image (of an error?) didn't paste. The link goes to some auto site.
>> console button doesn't work so I opened a terminal as admin
Not the same. First, admin's not required and second, adbLink's internal console routines provides paths and scripts for adbLink's adb.exe, scrcpy.exe, busybox and more. If the console button isn't working your adbLink installation is broken. I'd reinstall, also uninstalling whatever adb.exe you first installed prior to installing adbLink.

As before, the error shows the mismatch between two different adb.exe binaries.

Success!
My backup is running now. I uninstalled and reinstalled three times. I finally found an old directory of a 2020 copy of adblink on my D: drive. I also changed my Path to point to C:\adblink
The console button does not open a terminal however nor the ADB Shell.
Where are the "devices" saved, registry or??
Thank you!

I'm glad you have a backup working. There's still something off about the console button not working on your system. Anything in your log appear after pressing the button? Devices are stored in an sqlite database:
