HTPC Plex opening user switch screen during playback

Plex Media Server for Windows#: 1.32.5.7349
Windows Plex HTPC Version#: 1.47.1.3971-8b24dbb6
OS: Windows 11 Pro (fully updated)

Since the last update for HTPC Plex player it is opening user switch screen during the playback. It is happening constantly, every few minutes (5 or so) after the playback starts and no user input is present (ie. pause, play, volume change, etc.). When the user switch screen pops up, the playback continues in the background and I need to enter the PIN to see a movie. I’ve tried reinstalling the app (full deinstallation), changing different options, but the issues is persistent. Plex Server (which is on the same HTPC) has been updated several times since the first occurrence of the issue, but the issue remains, so I’m confident the issue is connected to the HTPC Plex app for Windows.

Can someone please provide the previous version so I can do a roll back for the HTPC? Currently I’m using the Plex for Windows desktop, but its usage on the HTPC isn’t as smooth (need to use the mouse, VS keyboard which works flawlessly with the HTPC).

If someone had similar issue and managed to solve it - please share how.

You may have luck and the installer is still on your pc =>
C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Plex HTPC\cache\updates
