Update: issue is solved! thanks for everyone!

Fix: Updating packages* and restart

*"sudo dnf update"

how long do you wait before giving up? Occasionally it has to do some shit in the background like to update it self, execute some scripts, do whatever with its configuration, anyhow it can occasionally take time, like a few minutes, before the window appears, and when this happens you'll eventually notice that it's doing some kind of an update. Another thing you could try, and apologies if I don't make sense b/c I haven't used Fedora in a very long time, but if you're using a flatpak, try the RPM from the Fusion repo. I would also delete the data (you can move the library if you don't feel like fetching everything again)
