Error on start player: getdpiforwindow

Server Version#:
Player Version#: last on 2022/08/08 from Plex home-site

Hello! After installing the plex player, an error occurs at startup: no entry point to the “getdpiforwindow”…
os: last Windows10 with all updates

Can you see if the app is creating any logs.

*%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\Logs*

No folder “Plex” in %LOCALAPPDATA%
therefore no any logs

if it helps here is the W10 version: 1511 build 10586.1176

This isn’t true, is it?

According to Wikipedia, that specific patch version was released Oct 10, 2017 and well outside of support (which means no security patches or anything for anyone). GetDpiForWindow requires 1607 which was first released in mid 2016 and is also well outside of any support (except for enterprise customers).

So you need to update your windows version.

Strangely, the windows update system says that the latest updates are installed. This is what I am guided by, ok, I will figure out why Windows is not updated to the really latest updates
