I strongly advise you to perform at least a health check of your Plex database. Performing a full database repair procedure can’t hurt either.  
These are the instructions for your current server software version:  
(do NOT try to upgrade before performing the repair/check) [Repair a Corrupt Database 1.22.0 and earlier | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201100678-repair-a-corrupt-database-1-22-0/)

After the check is returning OK or the repair procedure was successful, do this:

- Stop/quit/end Plex Server with the tray icon
- deinstall Plex Server with the regular ‘Apps’ control panel of Windows  
(do **not** use 3rd party ‘Uninstaller’ software like Revo etc.  
do **not** use “Registry Cleaner/optimizer” software like CCleaner et al)
- for safety, reboot Windows
- download the installation exe of the newer version and install it
