Hi All
I have been using Plex now for several years, the last couple on a Windows 64 Bit 7 box
i7 4790 with 16GB RAM
Over the last couple of months noticed it starting to lag and unresponsive, checked the processes running and noticed 11 instances of plexscripthost.exe running is this normal. (See below)

Or is there something I should be doing to fix this
I look forward to some of your thoughts on this.
Thanks

11 is the maximum normal count which can appear if your server is doing something which requires Metadata Agents, like Scanning libraries or Refreshing Metadata.
Plugins are also performed within the Plexscripthost.

Nothing alarming.

Thx Otto
It is not normal that my PMS keeps refreshing my metadata as its been doing it nonstop for months.
its set for "Run a partial scan when changes are detected "
Thanks

That is a bug that is supposed to be fixed in the beta 1.13.0
In case you haven’t updated yet, do it and see if the bad behaviour continues.
