Same problem every day windows 11 all updates beta version plex same problem

Know issue, that is currently been looked into

Well, Dane… can someone give us a progress report? I use Plex so that I can take my media with me. It’s kinda hard when, 200 miles from home… I have to reboot a server once or twice a day that I have no access to. What’s the point of us USING Plex if this goes on much longer?

Same problem for me. Windows 10. version 1.25.8.5663. Crashing every day. Looks like there is a new version 1.25.9.5673-bf5697c5d will try that.

To all in this thread…

We are currently working with a large group of users that are faced with this issue, and do provide them with debug versions, that doesn’t fix things, but increase logging to enable us to crack this :wink:

As soon as there’s anything new, we will let you know…

And to the folks here having the debug versions, please remember to provide us with feedback in the shared DM. And on behalf of Plex, huge thanks for assisting us in fixing this

Thanks I have been looking thinking I’m missing it.

Hello,

So I wrote a PowerShell script for this issue as it was happening on my server and I thought I should share it.

$Process = Get-Process -Name "Plex Media Server" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
If ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Process)) {
    Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Server.exe”
}

Then I setup a scheduled task to start running at midnight and run every 5 minutes after that. The action/program powershell with the arguements “-file “C:\Scripts\Check-PlexRunning.ps1” -ExecutionPolicy Bypass”.

Not a perfect solution but since my server seems to die in the middle of the night this script/setup keeps it running and the only thing the end user might see a error saying error retrieving this content or whatever and if they try again it will start right up without issue.

Any questions let me know.

For anyone with this issue I would suggest setting up AnyDesk for remote access. Has come in handy a number of times for myself in different situations.

I’ve used “Restart on Crash” before successfully. It won’t save interrupted recordings but will get Plex Media Server running again on Windows.

A fix has now been released for Plex Media Server crashes with 0xc0000409 exception in ucrtbase.dll in the 1.25.9 beta

The release 1.25.9.5721 made available yesterday

Release Notes:

  • Fix for Window related EventSource crashes (#13437)
