> [@akkbar](#): > > how would we see if this is happening to our install of PMS?

Ty for explaining that to me. I checked the logs you mentioned and that does not appear anywhere in the logs of either of my two managed servers thankfully. Looks like I dodged this bullet myself. PMS Version 1.43.1.10576 running on windows 10 w/ ESU and windows 11 for anyone who’s curious about my two platforms for my two servers. Thanks again for your time and to the plex team for addressing this issue. ---
