The icon in the task tray belongs to the Plex media _server._  
A double click on it should open your default web browser with the local Plex web app. (Unless you somehow don’t have a default web browser set. In which case you’ll want to bookmark [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) )  
See [Important note about the Plex Web app - Local Network Access](https://forums.plex.tv/t/important-note-about-the-plex-web-app-local-network-access/933264/1) for an additional point.

The Plex Player for Windows is a separate app and is downloaded and installed separately. I’m just mentioning it because you have tagged this post with it.
