1.32.x Breaks Plugins on Windows (OpenSSL)

  1. Uninstall current version of Plex Media Server. Use standard Windows uninstaller. No Revo, CCleaner, etc.

  2. Install desired version of Plex Media Server.

Startup will take longer as PMS has to update the database schema. If you see a 503 message in Plex Web mentioning database maintenance, then just wait and try a few minutes later.

PMS keeps three prior versions in the Updates folder of the Plex Data Folder.

Older (1.31.3) also available here: Plex Media Server support ending for older versions of Windows (7, 8, and 8.1), macOS (10.11, 10.12)
