Hardware Transcoding (Decoding) With Plex Running As Windows Service

Server Version#: latest beta
Player Version#: N/A

My understanding is that on Windows running Plex as a service hardware transcoding does not decode but only encodes. The workaround is to log on locally to get HW decoding. I already have the GPU (AMD) attached to a monitor.

My question is if I can run my Plex as a service on Windows and still get HW decoding capabilities? Is this something that can be fixed in Plex code or is there some kind of workaround that would allow me to have both? Thanks in advance.
