I replied to your post in the other forum thread with this response
I received logs from you for the 16th September
You have 2 instances of Plex Media Server .exe running in parallel and both referencing the E:\MediaCenter\Plex Media Server data area
One is running as a service and has debug logging enabled
and the other instant must be running in a different windows user account as it has debug logging disabled and must be referencing a different user registry area for the settingsAnyway - two instances of Plex Media Server accessing the same sqlite3 databases would lead to issues
How do you update Plex Media Server when you are running as a service ?
Have you seen my post here PMS as a service - #4 by sa2000 about registry change after updates to ensure it does not start in the windows account you use for updating Plex Media Server?
Do you use SYSTEM account for the PMS Service ? I would not advise this - if you are doing this
