I have had PlexData Sever on my Lenovo Windows 10 for a long time.  
I had to delete it for some reason.  
I downloaded the latetest version and installed it. Insread of “Launch” it tells me to restart.  
After restart I can see in the task manager that ist’s working, but the Plex/tv interface  
does not find the server and tells me to install a server.  
Tried it several times, even as administrator - same problem.  
Please advice.
