Hello,

I installed a new CPU(ryzen 5700x). The plex system worked the first day and now the plex server dosent show up. I dont get any “claim” message.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, logout and login, restart computer. Nothing seems to help the issue.

When I go into the web GUI it dosent even show the server options in the settings.

What can I do next to find my server?

Thank you

Server Version#:  
Player Version#:

I also did update my Ethernet drivers, not sure if that matters

I was able to remove the server from my authorized devices, this allowed me to temporarily see it as a claimable server, when I try to claim it the processing “wheel” keeps spinning and then it spits out a “you dont have permissions” message and its gone again

Any help?

I tried the following article:

[https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/)

Helped me see the server again but still getting “not authorized” message on everything

What else can I do?

Thank you
