If you use nssm, you cannot use the integrated updater in Plex.
You will have to trigger the download from inside Plex, then wait a while.
Then shut down the nssm Plex service.
then uninstall Plex Server (make sure NOT to use any “uninstaller” or “registry cleaner” tools!)
Now enter your plex data folder, subfolder Updates and execute the latest installer. Decline the offer to automatically start it.
remove it from autostart as well (I use autoruns.exe as it’s the fastest)
Now you can start the nssm service again.
Additional remarks:
- Ensure that you use the version of nssm in 64bit, because Plex Server is now in 64 bit as well.
- add
-noninteractiveas Argument in nssm
If the above is all too much manual work for your taste, use this instead of nssm: PMS as a service
