In the Plex For Windows desktop app, how can I tell what version I’m running and how do I tell if it’s current or in need of upgrading?

Installed Version

• In the Plex for Mac/Windows Desktop app: Settings → General
• Plex Web: Authorized Devices ← For your devices only, not friends / remote users.
  
  

Current Version

• Plex for Mac and Windows Announcement Thread ← Scroll to bottom of thread, change Normal to Watching to be notified of new releases.
• plex.tv download page: https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-app
  
  

Disable Auto Updates (also works for PlexHTPC):

• Exit Plex for Windows/Mac Desktop
• Edit %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\plex.ini (Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Plex)
• Add disableUpdater=true to debug section (add debug section if it does not exist).

[debug]
disableUpdater=true
