Working on my Mac, I’ve noticed annoying flashes in the corner of my screen on the menubar.
The new icon flashes very briefly then disappears. I thought it was something like a Location permissions icon being triggered by Safari…
This annoying flash happens approximately every 20-30 seconds.
I recorded my screen, and it turns out it’s a second Plex server icon in the menu bar.
Normal:
![]()
Very brief flash of buggy second Plex icon:
![]()
If I open Activity Monitor and filter for “plex”, the running processes remain constant during the flash. I had assumed maybe a second copy of Plex Media Server was starting? But that is not visible via Activity Monitor.
What’s causing this second icon? How can I fix this bug?

Makes using my Mac very annoying.
