Something I’ve noticed recently is that when Windows 10 attempts to go into Modern Standby mode on my Surface Pro 4, it fails because it gets stuck on the PLM Phase (Process Lifetime Manager) which is the phase where it suspends Microsoft Store apps that are in the foreground. I put the PC to sleep with Plex active
I am running the Windows Store App on a Surface Pro 4. If I am using the onscreen keyboard and have to enter a PIN to login, I have to click in every individual box otherwise the keyboard disappears. The cursor appears moves but no onscreen keyboard.

added a couple extra bugs
bump to the top
- hopefully @“Dom C” or @“MovieFan.Plex” can fix these 
I’ve noticed people keep re-adding the same known bug over and over in the forum…
How is it still not updated since the Windows 8 Version we have now ?
I recently tried the UWP app (never used it before) and couldn’t play music from Plex server… my music files are either MP3 or ALAC (lossless .m4a files). I didn’t get any error message in the UWP client - I could click the play button, but nothing would happen. Is this bug 5 from the list, “App does not support the codecs the server thinks it does - I have had a couple of shows that were transcoded and passed onto the app only to fail being played due to some codec error (the files play fine in anything else btw) (particularly with E-AC3 content)”? I would think MP3 and ALAC files would be supported natively by Windows though… my music plays fine in the Plex clients in iOS, Roku, Android, Mac, and Windows desktop. The only odd thing about the music on my Plex server is that it’s mounted via an SMB share on my Plex server (which is running in Windows), but I don’t see how that would cause an issue for an UWP app client if every other Plex client works fine from my server.
Tried it on a Surface Pro 6. Playback was incredibly choppy, seconds per frame rather than frames per second. Of course, launching the web app on the same device and playback proceeds smoothly without difficulty.
Just found this comprehensive list. Thanks for maintaining this. Something to add:
No libraries show up under This Device. Synced media can only be accessed by going to Status, drilling down to the movie/show, and then playing it.
Clearly, a lot has changed with how synced media works since the UWP app was last updated. I really hope they at least do bug fixes for it soon.
After repeated re-installs I have gotten the UWP app to work. The problem is when playing videos the frame rate goes to 0 while the audio keeps playing, that is until you move the mouse cursor around the screen which makes it flick through all previously missed frames till present.
Talk about weird.
