Moved Plex Media Server Metadata Folder to Another Drive, Lost Ability to Open Settings

Server Version#: 4.76.1
Player Version#: 4.76.1

I have a smaller Windows OS flash disk so the increasing size of my metadata folder for Plex forced me to move that folder to another drive. I followed these instructions: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105343-advanced-hidden-server-settings/

I have lost the ability to modify server settings and modify library settings:


So far I have tried:

  • Ensuring permissions for the folder I moved have full read/write for the user operating the server
  • All regedit changes were spelled correctly
  • Verified that the folder that was moved is being written to and the default location is fully deleted and not reappearing
  • Drive where the settings and metadata is being stored is NTFS
